Hermitage on the mountain of San Mango Piemonte where, according to tradition, Bishop St Magnus lived in the 3rd century.

At San Mango Piemonte, tradition tells that St Magnus, fleeing the persecutions of Decius, took refuge from 220 to 230 in a cave on the mountain that now bears his name.Here he evangelised the population, to whom he is said to have appeared after his death. The hermitage is a destination for devotion and hikes.
