Private Tour of San Giovanni Rotondo

On the day of your tour, meet your guide at the scheduled time in front of the Church of Santa Maria delle Grazie, one of the oldest Catholic temples in San Giovanni Rotondo, originally built in the 16th century.

Inside, you'll learn about the history of the sanctuary while admiring its artwork. Discover who Padre Pío, also known as San Pío de Pietrelcina, was and his link to San Giovanni Rotondo. You'll then visit the chapel where the saint's body lies.

After witnessing Padre Pío's remains, you'll explore the convent where he lived, seeing the room in which he worked and prayed.

The last stop will be the Padre Pío Pilgrimage Church, a contemporary church built in 2004 by architect Renzo Piano, largely funded by offerings from the saint's devotees.

After admiring its interior, your private tour of San Giovanni Rotondo will conclude.
