It is the oldest Franciscan place in Valnerina. Francis arrived here in 1213. He came from Narni, on foot, with a few of his companions, after one of the first apostolic missions. A researcher of solitary spaces suitable for prayer, the place must have been reported to him in the area. The Hermitage of the Sacro Speco is located a few kilometers from the medieval village of Sant'Urbano, which gave the original name to the place. In fact, for Francesco and the first biographers, this Sanctuary was known as "The Hermitage (or the desert) of S. Urbano". The origins of the hermitage date back to the year 1000. It depended on the Benedictines of S. Benedetto in Fundis di Stroncone; it included the various caves under the cliffs and the oratory of San Silvestro, which today presents precious fourteenth-century frescoes, with the adjacent cistern. Today the Hermitage is characterized by being a sanctuary, a House of prayer and spiritual welcome.

In the 90ies the Military Geographic Institute in Florence (IGM) identified the coordinates of the geographic centre of the Italian peninsula, to be exact in Narni in the Umbria region where a stone was placed in the ancient woods near Ponte Cardona over the Roman aqueduct Formina which brought water to the town of Narni until 1924. The historical presence of Francis of Assisi in the nearby Santo Speco adds to the spirituality of the place still perceived as a vital energy which the surrounding setting transmits
