The Limina Pass and the village of the same name

Highlight • Mountain Pass

At Passo della Limina you reach the top of a long descent that crosses centuries-old beech woods. It is an ancient crossroads between the Ionian and Tyrrhenian Seas and represents the gateway to the Aspromonte Park. In the village on the left, almost uninhabited, lives Frà Damiano, the caretaker of the Church of the Assunta, which is now a point of reference for all cyclists and wayfarers who pass through this magnificent place.

Serre Forests

Highlight (Segment) • Forest

Between Serra San Bruno and Mongiana you drive through dense, mystical forest. In summer, the shade provides a welcome cooling, because the climbs are sometimes very strenuous.

The immense Certosa of Serra San Bruno

Highlight • Religious Site

The Certosa di Santo Stefano, the first Carthusian monastery in Italy, is a place of great spirituality that is strongly recommended to visit. Despite the destruction caused by the earthquake of 1783, the immense Certosa founded by S. Bruno da Colonia remains one of the most important religious centers in Italy. In the part open to the public, it houses an interesting museum which tells the story and evolution of the monastery, as well as the daily life of the Carthusians. The silver fir park that surrounds the structure is truly splendid and can be particularly enjoyed on the path that goes towards the nearby Marian Sanctuary of Santa Maria del Bosco.

Church of Our Lady of Sorrows Maria SS. of the Seven Sorrows, Serra San Bruno

Highlight • Religious Site

Chiesa dell'addolorata Maria ss. Dei sette Dolori, Serra San Bruno
Church of Our Lady of Sorrows
The Church of Our Lady of Sorrows was built in 1721 according to a project by the Serrese architect Biagio Scaramuzzino.
It has a semi-elliptical facade made of local granite blocks that provide the backdrop for the beautiful bronze door, made in 1961 by Serrese artist Giuseppe Maria Pisani, which contains panels depicting the Seven Passions of the Madonna.
This church, a tangible example of Calabrian late Baroque architecture, has an interior enriched by the presence of stuccoes and decorations, and houses the seventeenth-century marble kiborium with a beautiful temple-shaped tabernacle in marble, semiprecious stones and silver, made by the Bergamo Architects Cosimo Fanzago for the Carthusian Convent Church. After the 1783 earthquake, the ciborium was salvaged and adapted to the church where it still stands today.
Also very particular is the seventeenth-century Christ of ancient Certosa, carried in procession on Holy Saturday on the so-called "Naca", a burial bed that changes every year according to a new aesthetic style in shape and colors depending on the inspiration of its creators is set up.
On the sides of the main altar there are two altars from ancient Certosa, above which there are two altarpieces depicting on one side the passage of Sant'Anna of the Roman school of 1642 and on the other the Apparition of the Virgin Mary to San Bruno depicting 1721 by Paolo De Matteis.
Of considerable artistic value is the seventeenth-century perforated marble balustrade, made by Neapolitan marble masters.
Also worth admiring are the four marble medallions attached to the stalls, representing San Bruno, San Gennaro, San Pietro and San Paolo.

Church of Santa Maria Assunta

It is one of the most popular places of worship in the country, in the Terravecchia district. In summer, the entrance stairway is crowded with people who willingly sit down to spend some time together. The interior houses valuable works.
