Basilica di San Benedetto

The Basilica di San Benedetto in Nocera Umbra is a Gothic church and Italian national monument dedicated to St. Benedict of Nursia, the founder of Western monasticism, born in nearby Norcia in 480 AD. Its architecture is characteristic of medieval Umbrian sacred buildings that once served pilgrims crossing the Apennines. Umbria holds a special place in early Christian monastic history, and this basilica sits within that landscape as both an active Catholic place of worship and a heritage site. It is listed as a point of interest in the regional Umbria Tourism network; visitors should confirm opening hours locally.
