코타넬로 최고의 라이딩 경로

몇 개의 레스토랑/바가 있는 아름다운 작은 마을 광장. 오르막길 후 짧은 휴식에 이상적입니다. 크리스마스 시즌에는 크리스마스 장식과 구유 장면이 있는 크리스마스 마켓도 있습니다. 링크는 다음과 같습니다 2025 https://www.facebook.com/ComunediGreccio/posts/tra-i-grandi-eventi-del-natale-2025-di-greccio-con-la-mostra-mercato-dellartigia/1135732188735441/

Sanctuary of Grecchio, one of the four shrines of St. Francis around Rieti Valley. Here, Francis depicted the Christmas story with living figures to help the local farmers understand it. Since then, setting up a nativity scene at Christmas has been a custom throughout most of the Christian world. Grecchio is a very special place

The walls surround the entire center, of Roman origin, of which few traces remain; the medieval walls built in the 13th century are still widely visible with their towers and portals, which are considered "among the most imposing and best preserved in Lazio. Very suggestive

Going down via Roma you reach the Velino bridge, known however by the same name as the one demolished in the thirties and placed, a little below, on the river bed: Roman bridge.

From Rieti, it seems clear to me

From this bridge you can admire a suggestive and unusual glimpse of the city of Rieti. The crystalline waters of the Velino river flow enclosed between ancient colored buildings and through the ruins of an ancient Roman bridge, one of the few remaining testimonies of the ancient Reate.

This is the place where St. Francis created the first crib of the Christian tradition. The Sanctuary stands in an exceptional position, clinging to the rock and with a unique view of the Rieti plain, nearby Greccio and the Terminillo massif. It can be visited every day and is open from 09.00 to 18.00. Whether you are a believer or not, it is highly suggestive to visit this place, especially during the Christmas period.

It seems that San Cataldo has never actually passed through these places. Yet the legends about the saint are not lacking. It is said that the rock that leads from the hermitage to the valley floor is full of hollows and fissures, marks of the elbows and feet of the saint who went to the stream every day to wash himself. Legends aside, the hermitage is a wonderful example of the union between human architecture and nature. The interior of the chapel and its ancient Byzantine fresco can be visited only during FAI days.
