カーシナのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

Beautiful, I often go there with my daughter. Anyone who comes to Pisa must absolutely visit it.

Also known as Certosa della Val Graziosa, this former monastery of the Carthusian Order is located in the municipality of Calci, in the province of Pisa. In Baroque style, the building currently houses the Natural History Museum of the University of Pisa and contains some important works such as a "Nativity" by Giuseppe Bottani, the only testimony of the Company of the Virgin Mary of New Venice that has survived to this day.

On the top of Monte Verruca, at 537 meters above sea level, an ancient and decaying fortress dominates the Pisan plain and the Arno valley. According to legend, there is a connection – underground and secret – between the fortress and the center of the city of Pisa.

The Certosa is a place dear to all Pisans, located in the middle of Val Graziosa, so called for its amenity in ancient times. One part hosts the natural history museum managed by the university, while the rest of the convent structure is managed by the ministry (the state) and can be visited upon request (the custodians are very knowledgeable and kind, especially the boy with the long monk's beard).

You cycle along the Arno bank. The road is narrow if you pass over the embankment but adjacent to the embankment there is a wider road, the real cycle path, which however is impractical if it has rained. However it is pleasant. In this area the Arno makes a serpentine and by traveling along the embankment, the road becomes very long. But if you do it for fun and you're not in a hurry, that's fine 🙂

The Verruca fortress rises in the municipality of Calci, in the province of Pisa, on the top of Monte Verruca. It can be reached by following the Firenze-Pisa highway, exiting at Cascina, then continuing towards Vicopisano. From the village, take the 'strada della Verruca' which starts from the village cemetery. Although largely unpaved, it can be traveled by car up to the foot of the rock where the Rocca stands. From here you can walk up to the top in about 20 minutes. Source: https://castellitoscani.com/verruca/
