Cascia, the small village of Umbria is an important pilgrimage destination. The places most linked to Santa Rita in Cascia are located in the Monastery of Santa Rita where the Augustinian community of about 50 nuns still lives today.

The complex dates back to the end of the 13th century and was then dedicated to Mary Magdalene. Although enlarged in the '700, this was the place where St. Rita lived as a nun for 40 years and where she died. Among the places that can be visited by the devotees are: the well, where Rita drew water for the vegetable garden, the kitchen or the cleanliness and the vine of white grapes, symbol of her obedience — when she was a novice she watered her patiently every day, until the dry trunk started to live again. The cell, where the saint spent the nights with prayer and where she died; the Ancient Choir, where Saint Rita took her clothes monacali; the Oratory of the Crucifix, where according to tradition he received the stigma on the forehead; the wedding ring and the rosary which symbolize his human and divine love respectively, are in a small room with no window.

For the feast of Saint Rita, on 22 May Cascia is filled with pilgrims and devotees, perhaps one day they will ring the bells alone, as they did according to tradition even in the year 1626.
