Itinerary

1. 1

   San Leo

   30min

   In the historic center of San Leo, the starting point of our excursion, we will see from the outside the fortress, one of the most incredible examples of Renaissance military architecture and the two churches, the Carolingian church and the Romanesque cathedral of San Leone. Continuing towards the only exit gate of the country we will understand why San Leo was considered an impregnable fortress-city

2. 2

   Convento Di Sant'igne

   40min

   After the walk in the woods following the path we will arrive at the monastery of Sant'Igne, one of the oldest Franciscan monasteries built outside Umbria in the mid-13th century, a suggestive and magical place especially at night. After entering the entrance we will visit the church in its elegant sobriety to enter the cloister, a place of recollection and peace ending our visit in the chapter room.
