    In 1908 a grand hotel with 200 beds was built here. A smaller hotel nearby had another 30 beds. A cable car went up. Everything has been closed since 1968 and has been exposed to slow decay. What remained is the beautiful view. It is definitely worth it and makes this spot a real highlight.

    Your adventure begins near the historic Art Nouveau buildings of the Campo dei Fiori Grand Hotel complex, specifically at the former funicular railway station.

For convenient intermediate access, you can find parking available at Bar-Ristorante Irma.
