Casacalenda (Molise)

Casacalenda is a town, in the Province of Campobasso, in the Italian region Molise. This village is still today a mainly agricultural center, and more recently a destination for tourists in search of the serenity of the countryside, the healthy food, the uncontaminated nature. The historical center is a jewel of alleys and narrow flights of steps going down the hills into the countryside. The main attractions are the ancient church of Santa Maria Maggiore, the monastery of Sant'Onofrio, founded in 1407 by Padre Giovanni from Scontrone and completed by Blessed Tommaso from Firenze, the Sanctuary of Maria Santissima della Difesa. In the Sanctuary there is a rich treasures of all the gifts left by those who had their prayers fulfilled, and in Montreal (Canada) in the district of Mile-End, the emigrants from Casacalenda founded in 1921 their own Chiesa della Madonna della Difesa.

Hi all,

I am asking a question that has been asked, no doubt, many times. I plan on getting the ferry to Cherbourg from Ireland in June and travelling to Molise. I will have 2 children and a dog for company. Any advice on routes, stop overs, etc. would be gratefully appreciated.
