San Leonardo, place of pilgrimage in the direction of the former home of Saint Joseph Freinademetz

Embedded in enchanting verdant hills at the bottom of the majestic Sasso Santa Croce Mountain, San Leonardo in Alta Badia is the birth place of Saint Joseph Freinademetz, a missionary who spent several years in China and was canonised only 67 years after his death. San Leonardo is a place of relaxation, but also a place of cult and prayer, which attracts numerous pilgrims who want to visit the home of the Saint missionary.

San Leonardo is a harbour of the Badia community. Many tourists looking for a relaxing holiday in an unmistakably scenic landscape, where they can also visit some places of prayer like the Parish Church of San Leonardo with frescos by the painter Matthäus Günther, choose San Leonardo as their holiday destination.

San Leonardo features all the characteristics of the natural Dolomite landscape with a verdant and luscious landscape, where humans live in full respect of the surrounding nature.
