Church of Saint Agnes

Very suggestive place, reachable on foot or by MTB through an excellent dirt road, without consuming too much energy.

The Church of Sant'Agnese is an ancient church, possibly dating back to the 12th century, and was probably built on the ruins of a pagan temple along the Celtic Way. As early as the 13th century, a hermitage of nuns, possibly affiliated with the Rule of St. Benedict, was attached to the church. They later moved to the village, where the monastery of the Franciscan Sisters of the Sacred Heart is today.It is located on the saddle of the same name and nestles well below the saddle. Next to the church are well-preserved stone houses used for gastronomic and commercial purposes.It can be reached via two different routes. One leads up from Gemona, the other along a former military road from Ospedaletto via Fort Monte Ercole to the church.
