Holiday apartment in Teriasca: Discover circular trails and chapels

Teriasca lies in a side valley. Circular trails, chapels and place names pointing to ancient settlements give the village several specific points of interest. If you are considering a holiday apartment in Teriasca, you can plan your trip around these trails and cultural-historical themes: active outings, chapels and traces of earlier settlement stand alongside one another as distinct interests here.

Circular trails with defined destinations

On the Sori–Teriasca–S. Croce–Sori circular trail, a somewhat less steep ascent after Teriasca leads to the colorful S. Rocco chapel. The Teriasca–Levà–Case Becco circular trail begins in the church square in Teriasca and leads to the NS della Guardia chapel in Cortino. For planning your days, you can therefore choose between two routes that combine hiking with reaching historically significant places. If you are traveling with children or your group has different preferences, you can use the documented destinations as a basis for planning your own day.

S. Lorenzo di Teriasca and its history

On August 27, 1654, the residents of Teriasca and Cortino received permission from Cardinal Stefano Durazzo to build a chapel in honor of Saints Lorenzo and Terenziano. The S. Lorenzo di Teriasca chapel was completed with three altars at the end of 1657. In 1755, a decree dated May 16 by Archbishop Giuseppe Maria Saporiti elevated it to a parish and dedicated it to Saint Lorenzo. The sequence of these dates makes the chapel a tangible part of the village's history.

S. Rocco on the road to S. Croce

The S. Rocco chapel stands on the road to S. Croce. The community built it in 1912 out of gratitude after the cholera epidemic that had struck Sori. The chapel has a single nave, a semicircular apse and a lowered barrel vault. S. Rocco thus combines a precisely dated reason for its construction with clearly identifiable architectural features that immediately give concrete expression to the site's sacred character.

Museum and traces of ancient settlements

The Museo Giannettino Luxoro is located in the vicinity of Teriasca. In the municipality of Sori, the place names “Castelli,” “Castelletti” and “Castellari” – including in Teriasca – point to traces of ancient settlements. For a trip with an interest in history, this means that the focus can extend from the chapels and the dates of their construction to the names that point to traces of earlier settlements within the municipality.
