    Mountain biking

    The Castellaccio is part of the Sentiero dei Castelli and is located in the upper part of Tirano on the Orobic side, in the Dosso area.
    You get there with some fairly steep climbs, but it offers a beautiful view of the surrounding mountains and Tirano.

    Hiking

    Built at the end of the fifteenth century by order of Ludovico il Moro, it was the main fortification of Tirano and is located in a strategic position to defend the city from the invasion of the Grisons from Switzerland.
    It was the highest point of the walls of Tirano and like practically all the other castles of Valtellina it was destroyed in 1526 and never rebuilt.
    It is called the castle of Santa Maria because in the Middle Ages there was a small church dedicated to Mary in that very area.
