THE SACRA

A story more than a thousand years' long;
a whole history to be discovered.

The Sacra di San Michele evokes beauty, charm, and mystery - that mystery that has enveloped it right from its construction, which occurred between 983 and 987 AD. It is an imposing abbey that, challenging the principles of physics, dominates the peak of Mount Pirchiriano, at the entrance to the Valle di Susa.

It is a wonderful place, dense with spirituality; originally protected by the Benedictine monks, since 1837, it has been entrusted to the Rosminian Fathers. The history, the spiritual value, and landscape that surrounds it inspired Umberto Eco to write his best-seller The Name of the Rose and make the Sacra a popular destination for visitors from all over Europe.

DONATIONS

Donate now and choose to support a fundraising project of the Sacra di San Michele.

For more than 185 years, the Rosminian Fathers have been the custodians and managers of the Sacra di San Michele. Their presence has contributed to the growth and maintenance of this sanctuary as they have carried out preservation and enhancement projects, undertaken cultural activities, and reinforced the place’s religious and spiritual identity.

Theirs is an essential, constant, and continuous commitment, made possible thanks, above all, to the generosity of so many donors: our faithful, pilgrims, and visitors, who, over the centuries, have contributed to keeping the beauty of this monument intact.

Much has been done, but our responsibility continues! Donate now, choose to support a fundraising project, or make a free donation to the Sacra di San Michele: your name will be added to the many already included in our Donors' Roll.
