The Cathedral of Saints Valentine and Damian (real name) in San Valentino in Abruzzo Citeriore (PE) is not only the spiritual center of the village, but also a tangible testimony to its millennia-old history. Its roots date back to around the year 1000, when the village, initially known as Castrum Petrae, became the burial place (and subsequent transfer of the bodies) of the Holy Martyrs Valentine and Damian, elevating the site to a pilgrimage destination and decreeing its name change. The current building is the result of a long process of destruction and rebirth, typical of Abruzzo towns. The most crucial moment was the great Maiella earthquake of 1706, which devastated much of the area and necessitated almost complete reconstruction. It was following this earthquake that the church took on its most distinctive character. The interior, in fact, is a magnificent example of sumptuous 18th-century Baroque, the result of restoration work carried out between 1777 and 1791. Here, the wide single nave unfolds beneath a richly decorated barrel vault, punctuated by pilasters with Corinthian capitals, creating an atmosphere of great elegance and sumptuousness. In stark contrast to this interior grace, the exterior boasts a powerful salient façade flanked by twin bell towers. This end block was added only more recently (between 1920 and 1931), designed by architect Antonio Liberi, giving the cathedral the monumental appearance we know today. Guardian of the remains of the patron saints and a symbol of the village's resilience after natural disasters, the cathedral perfectly embodies the faith and history of San Valentino in Abruzzo Citeriore.

From this beautiful and small town you can reach Passo Lanciano at around 1300 m above sea level. on a well-signposted route from the Majella national park for MTBs and hikers. The distance is approximately 13 km with extreme climbs that put a strain on the legs. Initially you travel about 4/5 km on asphalt, then a wide road rock trek begins. It will also happen that you get off the bike but that's no big deal. For lovers of hermitages, along the route, after about 3.5 km from Serramonacesca, in the Brecciarola district you reach a crossroads which after 1.2 km leads to the Eramo si Sant'Onofrio 8 (part not passable by bike). Once you reach Passo Lanciano you have two options: go back down to Pretoro with a 10 km descent on asphalt or continue climbing on asphalt for 9 km up to the Blockhaus passing through the Maielletta.

Why on a high hill? Churches played a dual role during this period. They served a defensive function and were cult centers. A high, hard-to-reach hill was ideal for defense and shelter during sieges, and on a symbolic level, building on the highest hills corresponded to a location "closer to God".
