Tips

Luca Flagiello

The path, short and circular, develops on the slopes of the hill facing the castle and combines the interest relating to the traditional landscape of the hill with the historical one linked to the fortifications which in medieval times completed the defensive system of the castle of Monteveglio, affecting precisely the Cucherla hill (296 m) and other nearby reliefs. It, called Monte Calvario between the 17th and 18th centuries due to its bare appearance and a cross on the top, housed the chapel known as the Madonna della Cucherla.

Today the top of the relief, which can be reached by skirting an ancient vineyard, is covered by a coppice of downy oak and manna ash. In spring and early summer, various species of orchids, all protected, bloom in the brightest spots. On the southern slope, thanks to the favorable microclimate, specimens of fig, almond and olive trees grow.
