ニエッラ・ベルボのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

In a splendid panoramic location, built of Langa stone, it is notable for the Baroque-style decoration of its brick façade. The building's design is attributed to Francesco Gallo, who worked in the Cuneo and Mondovì areas in the first half of the 18th century. The interior retains no decoration. The altar is noteworthy, the last vestige of the pre-existing building. This is evidenced by the fresco depicting the Madonna enthroned breastfeeding the Child, with Saint George, patron saint of Niella Belbo, at her side, dating to the late 15th century.

The Valencian Child

ok

The entire stretch of road from Mombarcaro to Niella is spectacular, because the road runs almost along the crest of the hills and offers panoramic views, on one side of the Alpine chain, and on the other side of the succession of hills which delimit the nearby Uzzone valley. The most exciting point along this stretch of road is the beautiful church of the Madonna dei Monti, isolated on a small hill.

Great picnic spot. there is also a fountain.

Monumental cross present near the church

The sanctuary, of origin prior to 1400, is built in Baroque style with materials from the surroundings (Langa stone). Despite being a rather bare construction (even the interior is devoid of decorations), it is notable for its splendid panoramic position, clearly visible from afar both coming from Mombarcaro and climbing from Niella Belbo. It deserves a stop, both to enjoy the 360 ° panorama (in good light conditions both the Maritime Alps are visible and, to the north, good portions of the Alps), and to enjoy the shade guaranteed by leafy trees. The only drawback, there are no fountains!
