EDITORS COMMENTS
Santa Caterina del Sasso: A Timeless Monastery Perched on the Eastern Shore of Lake Maggiore, Italy Nestled on a rocky ridge, overlooking the tranquil waters of Lake Maggiore in the Italian region of Lombardy, lies the enchanting Santa Caterina del Sasso monastery. This Roman Catholic monastery, located in the picturesque municipality of Leggiuno, in the Province of Varese, has stood the test of time, captivating visitors for over a century. The stunning image captured in this photograph, circa 1904, showcases the monastery's ethereal beauty. The monastery, built against the rugged cliffside, appears as if it is growing organically from the rock itself. The serene waters of Lake Maggiore reflect the monastery's grace, creating a breathtaking scene that transports viewers to a bygone era. The monastery, dedicated to Saint Catherine of Alexandria, was founded in the 14th century and has since been a place of pilgrimage for the faithful. The monastery's unique location, surrounded by lush greenery and offering breathtaking views of the lake, has also made it a popular destination for tourists. The photograph, taken by the renowned photographer Manuel Wielandt, captures the essence of this timeless and enchanting place. The image, part of the Grenville Collins Postcard Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and history of this remarkable Italian monastery.
