Located in an isolated clearing at the foot of Magnano, the Church of San Secondo is one of the purest and most fascinating examples of Romanesque architecture in the Biellese area ⛪✨. Dating back to the 11th century, this ancient parish church welcomes you with its stone and pebble facade, framed by green meadows and silent woods 🌿. The real protagonist is its majestic bell tower, which stands proudly next to the tripartite structure, offering a timeless atmosphere of peace ⏳

Il Ricetto di Magnano is a 12th-century fortified village that seems suspended in time, located on the crest of the Serra Morenica 🏰. Unlike the more famous Ricetto di Candelo, this one retains a more intimate, wild, and authentic atmosphere 🌿. Strolling through its narrow cobbled streets and ancient stone houses, you'll be surrounded by an almost magical silence 🤫. The highlight is the entrance tower-gate, which still welcomes visitors today, projecting them directly into the Middle Ages 🛡️.

The Torre della Bastia, located near Andrate, is one of the most beloved structures on the Alta Via dell'Anfiteatro Morenico (Morainic Amphitheater Trail). Built entirely of wood with iron details, it extends over three floors and offers breathtaking views of the Canavese area and, in particular, the Ivrea lakes. Easily accessible after a few kilometers of walking, it's an ideal place for a scenic stop, to take photos, or simply to enjoy a moment of contemplation at altitude.
