When St. Benedict arrived in Montecassino, he found It is a rural community dedicated to the veneration of the pagan gods. He therefore decided to bring the word of the Lord and built an Oratory in honor of San Martino and
a Chapel dedicated to San Giovanni Battista.During the Second World War, the place became famous as a theater of the same name at the Battle of Cassino, which took place in 1944, and which caused, among other things, the destruction of the complex due to Allied bombing. The abbey was later rebuilt after the end of the conflict.
