Hermitage of San Bartolomeo in Legio da Roccamorice

Eremo di San Bartolomeo in Legio da Roccamorice is one of the Hermitages of San Celestino. You can reach it with a simple walk accompanied by the charm of the passage through a hole in the rock. The hermitage probably has very ancient origins, before the year 1000. Around 1250 Pietro da Morrone, future Pope Celestine V, rebuilt it using it often. The frescoes above the entrance portal date back to this period. On August 25th there is still a solemn procession in which the statue of the saint is carried in his arms.
