Eremo di Santa Illuminata - Guardea
A few miles south of Guardea, not far from the state road 205 Amerina, surrounded by oak trees and large boulders, are the remains of the church and convent of St. Illuminata.
Tradition holds that the complex was founded in 1007 by San Romuald, tutor of the Camaldolese, but after 200 years it was given to the Franciscans.
