The Hermitage, at the foot of the Morgia Quadra of Frosolone (IS), is a true pearl. To welcome visitors, the ancient church of Sant'Egidio which, in the Middle Ages, was a chapel, dependent on the nearby convent of Sant'Onofrio. Protected by the Antonians, according to tradition, it has become famous for the numerous miraculous healings of which the monks were protagonists. At the beginning of 1300, after the Church of Rome excommunicated the congregation, the chapel was destroyed together with the convent of Sant'Onofrio. In the following years, it was rebuilt, probably by hermits and livestock sellers, who went to Sant'Egidio for the end-of-summer fair. In 1704, thanks to Michele Vago and Antonio Zaccagnino, a real church was built in place of the chapel. Falling to pieces with the earthquake of 1805, the small complex was rebuilt and subsequently restored several times. The last renovation took place in the 1980s. The church of Sant'Egidio represents a place of worship very dear to the people of Frosolone, above all because it houses the statue of the Crowned Virgin which, according to tradition, has appeared near the church several times. Furthermore, inside the sacred walls, an ancient and precious manuscript is preserved which lists some miracles performed by Sant'Egidio. Going beyond the church, what is most striking is, certainly, the surrounding landscape. In these sections, it is possible to see some horses in the wild or, more simply, calm herds of cows and flocks of sheep that, at sunset, go to water, after an abundant meal of fodder. The same one that makes Frosolone milk and cheeses so good as to satisfy the palates of the most severe gourmets. Source: www.moliseeccellenze.it There is also a fountain for hikers!

In subsequent periods the castle belonged to the Caldora family and then again to various families of the kingdom of Naples, including that of the Caracciolo family.
