Cycle path along the seafront with panoramic views

The abbey is located on the Francigena route which can be accessed via a narrow path under a holm oak forest to the right of the abbey.

The Cerano forest (or "Tramazzone") has a large number of tree species, the reserve occupies only a portion of it, in the coastal part where there is a notable presence of Mediterranean scrub and holm oak woods. MTB routes both technical and tourist! To explore.

On the Francigena Sud there are the excavations of Valesio. Roman era.

The coastal towers were built around the 16th century for security reasons. In this era, pirate raids were very frequent and the inhabitants, mainly farmers, did not have the necessary means to defend themselves independently. By virtue of this fact, it was decided to build the coastal towers to protect the city from attacks by pirates and barbarians who had the objective of plundering all the riches that a maritime city could possess.

Currently managed by the Fondo Ambiente Italiano (FAI), the Cerrate Abbey complex is unique in its kind and one of the most significant examples of Otranto Romanesque. Some details of the church capitals and the interesting explanations of the FAI guides will leave you speechless.

Tower

The Umbrian pilgrimage site of Assisi has produced two important personalities: “Santa CHIARA” also deserves to be honored alongside “San FRANCESCO”. She lived at the same time as Francis: Clara was born in (or around) 1193 and died in 1253. Her general memorial day in the calendar of saints is the day of her death on August 11th for all major Christian denominations, but there are also regional or order-specific memorial days. In addition to this church, which was entrusted to her patronage, there are two important places in Assisi itself to follow in her footsteps: The Church of the Holy Sepulchre in the center of Assisi (if you are interested, see https://www.komoot.com/de-de/highlight/361280 ), and the monastery of "San Damiano" (see https://www.komoot.com/de-de/highlight/361272 ), located just outside the historic city walls.
