Casa di Santa Rosa
About This Museum
Tucked away on a quiet, cobbled lane in Viterbo's medieval heart, the Casa di Santa Rosa feels less like a formal institution and more like stepping into a time capsule. This unassuming stone house is where the city's beloved patron saint, Rosa, lived her short life in the 13th century. Inside, the atmosphere is intimate and hushed, with creaking wooden floors leading you through rooms that tell her story of piety and miracles. It’s a deeply personal glimpse into local devotion that has resonated for centuries.
Collection Highlights
The modest kitchen, said to be where she performed miracles with bread, and the small oratory containing a poignant statue of the saint lying in repose.
Visitor Information
