Passo di Treia: Paths, Churches and Historic Places

Passo di Treia can be explored through a combination of historic paths, religious sites, older buildings and landscapes. The Antica Via Romano Lauretana continues from Passo di Treia to Santa Maria in Selva. For travel planning, this connection forms a section of the route between Passo di Treia and Santa Maria in Selva. An information totem about the Cammini Lauretani was installed in front of the Chiesa della Natività in Passo di Treia.

Churches and Squares in the Town

The Chiesa Madonna del Ponte stands on the left bank of the Potenza River, at the bridge that marks the boundary with the municipality of Pollenza. Here, the site combines a religious building with a riverside setting and the boundary with the municipality of Pollenza. The Chiesa della Natività was inaugurated in 1999. Its complex comprises the church, parish meeting rooms, churchyard and square. These different elements make the church building both an architectural and spatial point of reference within Passo di Treia.

Torre del Mulino and Historic Transport Routes

Another defining site is the Torre del Mulino. It was built at the end of the 14th century, although its history as a water mill goes back further. The Torre del Mulino is located in Passo di Treia at a junction of important routes leading to Treia, Macerata, Urbisaglia and San Severino. This building therefore brings together two periods: the medieval construction of the tower and the earlier history of its use as a water mill.
