Holiday apartment in Maiolati Spontini – culture, park and Via dei Tesori

Parco Colle Celeste: views and history

The Parco Colle Celeste features a tree-lined avenue, a woodland and a viewing terrace overlooking the Esino Valley towards the Adriatic. The statue of the Virgin Mary in Parco Colle Celeste was inaugurated in 1858. The park was also intended as a garden for public walks in honour of Celeste Erard.

Birthplace, residence and Chiesa di San Giovanni

The Casa natale di Gaspare Spontini was declared a national monument in 1924. The Museo Gaspare Spontini is located in the residence that Gaspare Spontini and Celeste Erard bought and remodelled for their return to Maiolati. The Chiesa di San Giovanni houses Gaspare Spontini’s sarcophagus with a medallion traditionally attributed to Antonio Canova. These three specific places offer different historical points of reference for your plans, without requiring you to limit the cultural part of your stay to just one building.

Romanesque architecture and culture in Moie

Moie is home to the Abbazia di Santa Maria delle Moie, an important Romanesque church in the region dating from the 12th century. Its church has three naves and can also be interpreted as a Greek-cross floor plan inscribed in a square. Also in Moie, the former brickworks was converted into the cultural centre eFFeMMe23 Biblioteca La Fornace. The centre includes a library, spaces for gatherings and activities for all age groups. The Hoffmann kiln dates from 1923.

The Via dei Tesori has parking areas, refreshment facilities and meeting points, and can be reached from provincial roads. Alongside the historic sights, this provides a clearly defined option for days spent cycling and walking through the river landscape along changing sections of the route.
