    Hiking

    In the Montecoronaro hamlet of Verghereto, a small chapel dedicated to St. John the Baptist is of great charm. At the beginning of the seventeenth century the oratory had a single altar, behind which images of the Madonna, San Giovanni and Sant'Agata were painted. The fresco was lost around 1972 during the complete renovation of the oratory. In the small bell tower the bell bears the date 1698 and the writing "In cospectu angelorum psalmit tibi", a phrase from the book of Psalm 137.

    Located in the center of the oldest part of the town of Montecoronaro, it was the small church of the castle, a stone's throw from the house of the Coronari Lords of the town.
    It dates back to the 13th century - frescoed before the renovation which took place in 1972, the structure is built with a mixture of pietra serena and travertine.
    The small bell tower supports a bell from 1698 ..... it was rung during bad weather to protect the harvest.
    In the foundations there is a small ossuary ...
