Country Perched on the mountains is the ancient Monastery of St. James , hidden and camouflaged in the natural inlets of the ridge that hosts it is virtually invisible from the valley below.
With a group of local friends and guided by the expert Mr. Tonio Izzo we decide to visit the Hermitage, we plan an excursion around a table and we provide private off-road that will take us across a dirt road a few kilometers Hermitage itself.
Once you left the jeep has a mountain to climb so steep that it becomes necessary to use a rope to continue safely.

After about 20 minutes pleasant climbing, thanks to a hot day, you can see the Hermitage of San Giacomo

| Hermitage of S. James |
From this height you can see the valley below and particularly the town of Crossroads from the same point of view of the hawks that circle our altitude

Continuing to get to the Hermitage and the sensation is like stepping back in time, when the Hermitage itself was a place of meditation.
