루가냐노 발 다르다 최고의 러닝 경로

A wonderful stop. Both the church and the baptistery were open, and we were able to enter for a visit. It's worth a detour if you're in the area.

It's always fun on these streets

Suggestive place easily reachable

The Romanesque parish church, dedicated to San Colombano, stood near the ancient castle. Of the church, built in the 22nd century, all that remains are the bell tower and the apse with the main altar. The 15th century frescoes from the apse walls are displayed in the rectory, among which the one depicting the Coronation of the Virgin stands out.

It is dedicated to the Irish saint who evangelized vast areas of Gaul and Germany, founder of monasteries including that of Bobbio, where he died in 615. The church was built at the end of the 19th century to replace the older parish church, of which the bell tower and apse still remain on a hill overlooking the Arda. Inside, with a single nave, there is a valuable statue by the Flemish Jan Geernaert.

Castell'Arquato, a medieval village and city of art on the first hills of the Val D'Arda, stands majestically thirty kilometers from Piacenza and a little further from Parma. Dominating the hill along the Arda stream, this village keeps its medieval structure intact, offering an authentic experience. Culture, history, natural beauty and gastronomy blend harmoniously in this unique place, enriched by unmissable events.

Panoramic terrace overlooking the valley. Too bad for that ugly factory that disturbs pleasure

A climb to get to the medieval village of Castell'Arquato is worth it, perhaps reward yourself with the gastronomic delights of the place!
