As etapas

1. Santuário de Santa Maria delle Grazie Start from the old church: early in the morning you will find silence.
2. Convento dos Capuchinhos: a cela e o Crucifixo If the queue is short, go in now: by midday the wait grows.
3. Igreja de San Pio da Pietrelcina (Renzo Piano) Cross the forecourt slowly: the arches seen from outside are half the experience.
4. Túmulo de San Pio Save the most important stop for last: here time is not counted.
