Going along the absurd cycle path (a bit kamikaze and one-way) of via San Vito you reach an open space from which it is possible to admire the overhangs of the ravine and above all the rear vault of the Sanctuary of S. Maria della Palomba, which from this perspective it almost appears to materialize directly from the rocks below and from the adjacent tuff quarry.

Be careful to follow the cycle path (which leads to the panoramic point) only in the permitted direction, i.e. downhill. It is in fact a one-way track, and going uphill (therefore against traffic) there is a real risk of being hit by bikes descending at high speed due to the high gradient (10%).
