Discover Lanciole: Church, Bridge and Chestnut Forests

Lanciole unfolds through a series of distinct places and paths: sacred architecture, a washhouse, a stone bridge and a circular trail through chestnut forests offer different ways to explore the village and its landscape. This allows you to combine culture with outdoor activity.

Chiesa di San Bartolomeo: several historical layers and a painting

The Chiesa di San Bartolomeo has medieval origins, but today has the appearance of an 18th-century single-nave church. It houses a painting of the Vergine del Rosario, created in 1641 by an unknown 17th-century artist. Those interested in culture can focus here on church architecture and religious art.

Lavatoio di Lanciole: tiles, vaulted windows and two large basins

The Lavatoio di Lanciole is entirely covered with roof tiles and has vaulted windows framed with tiles. Inside are two large basins through which continuously flowing water once ran. From the outside, tiles define the roof and windows; the two basins are located inside the washhouse.

Ponte Vecchio: single-arch stone bridge

The Ponte Vecchio di Lanciole has a single arch and is made entirely of stone. The single arch and the consistently stone-built structure are among the bridge's immediately recognisable features.

Chestnut forests, circular trail and peaks in the surrounding area

The Anello di Lanciole circular trail leads through chestnut forests. The surrounding area of Lanciole also includes the peak of le Piaggete, the peak of Monte Bersano, the peak of Poggiobello and the peak of Monte Tagliola. For hikers, the Anello is a route through chestnut forests; the four peaks can be considered additional destinations when planning an excursion around Lanciole.

Museums in the immediate and wider region around Lanciole

The Accademia d'arte museum and the Galleria D'Arte Bentivegna museum are located in the surroundings of Lanciole. In the wider regional area around Lanciole are the Museo dell'Ospedale del Ceppo museum and the Oltre museum. Anyone wishing to include museums in their plans beyond Lanciole's buildings and paths can also consider the two destinations in the wider regional area.

Local routes: Lavatoio di Lanciole and Ponte Vecchio di Lanciole

The paths to the two buildings differ significantly in their surfaces. The Lavatoio di Lanciole can be reached on foot via a narrow, paved path in the village. The route to Ponte Vecchio di Lanciole, however, follows an unpaved and uneven path; suitable footwear is recommended. Anyone including both destinations in their plans for the village should allow for the change from the narrow, paved village path to the unpaved and uneven access route. The recommendation for suitable footwear applies to the path to Ponte Vecchio di Lanciole.
