コドロンジャーノス/コドロンジャーノスのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

The church of Saints Elias and Enoch, located on the mesa of Monte Santo, dates back to the Byzantine era (6th-9th century AD) and reflects the traditions of Greek monasticism. Originally, it was a place of worship for hermit monks who lived in cells dug into the mountain. In 1065, the church became the first Benedictine monastery on the island.

Monte Santo (Monte Santu or Monte Sant'Elies in Sardinian) is an isolated mountain and mesa in Logudoro, with an altitude of 733 meters. During the climb, lithological changes are observed, passing from carbonate rocks to basaltic ones around 650 meters. On the summit, located on the south-western lip, you can enjoy a vast panorama, especially at the summit cross.

With its unmistakable profile, Monte Santo is an icon of Meilogu, the name of this enchanted corner of Sardinia. Born from ancient volcanic eruptions, this mountain rises among vast green fields, offering breathtaking views.

The Rosario Church is a religious building in Osilo, a city in northwestern Sardinia. It is dedicated to Catholic worship and belongs to the parish of the Immaculate Conception, which, like the church of Santa Croce, is not far away. The church, built in the 17th century, is dedicated to the Madonna del Rosario; In addition, Saint Dominic, Saint Anne and Saint Narcissus of Girona, protectors of crops from locust plagues, were also honored in the church.

Danger! The hiking trail is (now in summer 2023) completely overgrown, especially with blackberry bushes and thistles. Absolutely not recommended unless you have a machete.

Unfortunately, the church itself cannot be visited from the inside. But the view of the landscape is just great!

From the small old church you have a wonderful view of Osilo and the Castello Malaspina as well as Monte Tuffudesu and the Chiesa di Bonaria.

The church built in the middle of the Baroque period retains typical motifs of medieval architecture in the essentiality of the structure, in the purity of the masses, in the essential and ingenuous decoration
