Gamogna Hermitage

Among the green mountains of the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines, isolated on a ridge, lies the Gamogna Hermitage, founded in 1053 by Saint Pier Damiani. The hermitage was dedicated to Saint Barnaba and inhabited by the Camaldoli monks of the underlying Badia della Valle.

After various events, the hermitage is back to being a place of spirituality and hospitality thanls to the presence of the nuns of the Fraternità Monastiche di Gerusalemme.

The church of the complex retains its original Romanesque structure, with the gabled facade, the semicircular apse with the exterior covered with slate slabs and the bell gable.
