Santa Lucia Cross and Viewpoint (Miranda)

Located on the mountains that surround the town and from which you can enjoy the view of the entire valley of Isernia. Overlooking the church there is a cave in which a local legend wants the saint to have taken refuge in an attempt to escape from her persecutors

The inhabited area is Miranda where the cult of Saint Lucia is particularly felt with the festival dedicated to her which takes place on the last Sunday of August.
On this occasion, both residents and tourists gather on the mountain of Santa Lucia not only to attend Holy Mass, but also to participate in a festive and convivial outing.

The main dish of the day is the traditional "Panonta", a typical Mirandese dish that is absolutely worth trying at least once.

It is a loaf cut into several layers, the first of which is stuffed with an omelette, the second with fried sausage, the third with fried bacon (but this ingredient is at the discretion of whoever makes it) and the last with fried peppers.

Once garnished, the loaf should be left to rest wrapped in a cloth for an entire night, so that the bread softens and adds flavour.
