Biscina Castle

Highlight • Castle

There is no certain information on the date of foundation of this castle nor on the origin of its name. Biscina, derived from the word "biscia", could refer to the course of the Chiascio river which draws curves downstream that recall the movement of a snake. What is certain is known that between the 10th and 14th centuries the castle was part of a complex of fortifications belonging to the Bigazzini di Coccorano, the local lords. Today the structure is in a state of abandonment, the last renovation dates back to the seventies but the complex was seriously damaged by the 1984 earthquake.

The 13th day was a short 14km ride. The trails initially consisted of forest and field paths, then paved roads about halfway through. The terrain was very hilly, but mostly downhill to the small town of Valfabbrica.

Since we arrived at the hotel by 1:00 p.m., we took a trip to Assisi today. After the final stretch, we'll be taking …
