Sant'Igne is a mid‑13th‑century Franciscan foundation, one of the earlier friary sites outside Umbria; San Leo itself was a strategic stronghold with Carolingian and Romanesque churches near its fortress.
Stay on marked trails to protect fragile limestone soils and understory plants; group numbers are capped to limit night disturbance to wildlife and the monastery.
