What is the Way of the Franciscan Protomartyrs?
The Way of the Franciscan Protomartyrs winds through the diocese of Terni-Narni-Amelia.
The route starts in Terni, passes through the towns where the Protomartyrs Berardo, Adiuto, Accursio, Pietro, and Ottone were born, and ends in Terni at the Santuario Antoniano dei Protomartiri Francescani (Shrine of St. Anthony of the Franciscan Protomartyrs), following the places where St. Francis carried out his preaching work, leaving an indelible mark. Rediscovering the taste for adventure in contact with nature, discovering Italy's cultural heritage, setting out on a ‘quest’ and opening oneself to the divine: there are many reasons that might prompt you to set off.
On the trails of Terni in Umbria, where beauty meets the sacred with discretion and humility, everyone is free to put on their backpack and set off on their own journey, whether they are a pilgrim or a wayfarer.
