The Abbey of San Pastore is a partially ruined former Cistercian monastery located in the province of Rieti in the countryside between Contigliano and Greccio. It is part of the “path of Francis,” the pilgrimage route that unites the four Franciscan sanctuaries in the Sacred Valley; the via Benedicti, a route that unites Benedictine places in central Italy; and finally the cammino dei Templari, a route that concerns the Knights of the Temple.
