Discover Peglio – Holiday Apartment, Village History and Adventure Trail

Peglio is a small village of medieval origins situated on a striking gypsum rock formation. The rock gives the village a distinct landscape setting. The villagescape features historic buildings alongside narrow lanes and façades with murals.

Village History and Art in the Villagescape

One of Peglio’s oldest and most characteristic buildings is the Casa del Vicario. The Torre del Girone dates from the 13th century. Both structures refer to specific chapters of the village’s history, while the murals shape Peglio’s outdoor spaces.

Baroque Church and Terracotta Stations of the Cross

Peglio’s sacred art includes the Chiesa di San Fortunato, a Baroque-style church. Inside it is an artistic Stations of the Cross made of terracotta. The church’s Baroque style and the material of the Stations of the Cross are part of the same interior space. For those interested in culture, this creates a distinction between viewing the painted façades and looking at the church interior.

Adventure Trail and Event

The “Percorso dello Spirito” in Peglio, in the Marche, is an adventure trail that leads through the village and the surrounding hills. For planning a day, the trail can be considered as a separate section alongside a visit to the village. Anyone wishing to include both the built-up village and the hilly landscape during their stay will find a trail in Peglio expressly leading through both areas.
