View towards the road of the former powder magazine between Viverone and Alice Castello

Situated in a panoramic position a few metres from the church of San Martino, it is multicoloured, each representing a canton of the municipality, as explained on the information sign

A small church located in the hilly area and dating back to the 12th century, in an excellent state of preservation and located in a panoramic position, so much so that nearby they have installed the giant bench of la Vila (of the municipality of Villareggia)

The square was opened between 1843 and 1844 after the demolition of the Church of Santa Chiara and the southern part of the convent of the same name. The Convent of Saint Clare was built in 1310, and the nuns remained here until 1802, the year the order was abolished following the Napoleonic decree suppressing religious orders. The approximately 2,200 square meter square was created specifically for the grain market, as the colonnades could serve as shelter for grain during bad weather.

Be careful on the carriage road, the one with 20 hairpin bends that goes down towards Tina has ruts formed by water high in the curves.

Excellent panoramic point where you can stop!

From the Cellagrande website: "Among the rolling Canavese hills, cultivated with vineyards facing Lake Viverone, stands Cella Grande. An ancient Benedictine monastery, whose now deconsecrated church includes a stone bell tower and a chapel of Romanesque origin, built between the 11th and 12th centuries. Here the monks who lived there used to dedicate themselves to viticulture and the production of wine from an ancient and native white grape variety called "Albalux" still grown today after centuries with the name of Erbaluce." I would add that the foresight of this family has brought this Monastery back to life, in the best possible way.

It is a unique place of its kind. In a rather small and circumscribed area 2 steps from the Montalto lake (also called "Rabbit" lake) there is an area with a very dark soil composed of water, peat, earth and medium-sized trees. Especially when the ground is wet or it has rained previously if you jump on the surface, it moves creating small waves making the surrounding trees dance. A real show! You can reach the dancing lands from 2 different dirt tracks. For those with good technical skills the entry or exit paths in both directions are also fun to pedal.
