The hermitage of San Bovo or "hermitage of San Bovo" is located on Monte Costa at 330 meters above sea level. It belongs to the locality of Valrovina and its first documentary traces date back to 1742, even if its origins date back several centuries earlier.
This fascinating and mysterious structure is still very well preserved today and is well worth a visit.

The ancient and evocative Hermitage of San Bovo, patron saint of domestic animals, stands on a secluded and silent promontory overlooking the entrance to Valbrenta.

The first cadastral document of the small church dates back to 1742, but it is hypothesized that it was first built in medieval times (13th-14th century) by the Benedictine friars: some engravings on the rock would confirm this. Even before that, the place was probably built or at least frequented in the Etruscan era (8th-6th century BC): pre-Roman signs and characters were in fact found on the rocks in front of the church.

Curiosity: in the geological literature of the nineteenth century, the Hermitage of San Bovo was known as 'the Geologists' Paradise', due to the abundant number of marine fossils present; we are in fact on an ancient coral reef from the Eocene!
