カステルサンジョバンニのおすすめツーリングルート

ブドウ畑の展望ポイント。

ボルゴノーヴォ・ヴァル・ティドーネ（コラーノ/地域地区のフラツィオーネ）にあるサン・マルティーノ・ヴェスコヴォ教会は、おそらく中世初期に起源を持つ、人里離れた景色の良い場所にある古代の礼拝堂です。現在の構造は、14世紀に遡る記録文書や16世紀の鐘楼があり、歴史的な層状構造を物語っています。

The patronage of this shrine, dedicated to the Madonna, refers to the town of Loreto. This is one of the great and important Marian pilgrimage sites in Europe, along with Lourdes in the French Pyrenees and Fatima in Portugal. Unlike the other two places mentioned, however, Loreto is not known for apparitions of the Mother of God. Here, pilgrims can find something very tangible: Mary's childhood home in Nazareth (Israel). Her parents—not mentioned by name in the biblical writings of the New Testament—are mentioned in apocryphal traditions: Saint Anne and Saint Joachim are thus the grandparents of Jesus Christ (their common feast day in the calendar of saints is July 26). Crusaders likely dismantled the venerated building in Nazareth and brought it to Europe when the era of the Christian kingdoms in the Holy Land came to an end towards the end of the 13th century. But this very sober assumption is countered by a much more interesting legend: According to this, four angels carried out the translation and flew the house over the Mediterranean.

Castle kept in excellent condition.

Castle with harmonious lines, less imposing and strong than others. Fitting very well into the landscape, it enjoys a fantastic view of the plain below

Unfortunately, this church of St. James on the Via Francigena was closed.

This very low-traffic stretch of the Pizzofreddo municipal road runs along a very scenic ridge.

The Rocca di Pianello Val Tidone is an imposing medieval fortress dating back to the 13th century. Built for defensive purposes, the fortress dominates the village with its massive walls and strategic position. Today it houses the Archaeological Museum of Val Tidone, which preserves prehistoric, Roman and medieval finds, offering an overview of local history.
