Discover Bargagli: Churches, Landscapes and Excursions

Bargagli brings together churches with different historical dates, landscapes, and destinations for outings and excursions in a travel experience focused on culture and scenery. Anyone looking for a holiday apartment in Bargagli can weigh up different holiday interests here without committing to a single theme.

Churches in Traso, Terrusso, Viganego and Cisiano

In Traso, the Church of Sant'Ambrogio is first mentioned in a document from 1222. In 1506, it regained its independence. In Terrusso, San Giovanni Battista was probably built around 1645 and officially consecrated in 1666. The two churches represent different historical moments: in one case, an early documentary mention followed by a later return to independence; in the other, the construction date and consecration.

In Viganego, the Church of San Siro is first mentioned on 30 January 1258. The present building was reconstructed in 1967. In Cisiano, the first chapel of the Church of the Visitation was built in 1645; on 1 October 1887, the church became an independent parish. The different dates and developments give you several specific reasons not to view the churches in Traso, Terrusso, Viganego and Cisiano as interchangeable points of interest.

Landscapes on Monte Croce di Bragalla and in the side valleys

The settlements of Bargagli extend along the foothills of Monte Croce di Bragalla and into the side valleys. Watercourses run through the area. In Bargagli, agricultural land interrupts the woodland and higher-altitude meadows. Together, this creates a combination of wooded areas, open higher-altitude meadows, cultivated land and watercourses. When choosing a holiday apartment in Bargagli, you can therefore first consider whether churches and local connections or landscapes, outings and excursions should take centre stage during your holiday. You can take these landscape features into account alongside the churches when choosing your holiday focus.
