A small church located in the hilly area and dating back to the 12th century, in an excellent state of preservation and located in a panoramic position, so much so that nearby they have installed the giant bench of la Vila (of the municipality of Villareggia)

The castle is beautiful but not open to visitors. The view from the park in the square in front of the nearby church is beautiful...

I tried to make a tour that could include most of the trails on the Moncrivello hill. Although I did not pass by the Miralta sanctuary, undoubtedly the most famous building in that area, the trails are almost always very clean. About 3/4 of the way there is a short stretch with a ramp for a jump of a certain importance. I do not recommend it because the difference in height of the jump is considerable and you land in a stretch with an additional slope. But those who love jumping and are capable will have fun. However, next to the wooden ramp on the right side there are 2 simpler passages that can be done. Overall a very fun tour, for long stretches similar to xc routes.
