Discover Belvedere: Cultural Heritage, Panoramas and Beaches

Belvedere amid Panoramic Hills and Cultural Heritage

Belvedere is set in a hilly landscape and offers panoramic views over large parts of the surrounding area. When you choose a holiday apartment in Belvedere, you are opting for a place whose landscape is shaped by elevation and expansive views.

A Historic Lavatoio

The Antico Lavatoio di Belvedere has been protected as cultural heritage since 13 April 2022 in accordance with Article 12 of Italian Legislative Decree No. 42/2004. Until the 1950s, it was used daily by local residents. The area next to the ancient lavatoio provides a rural, bucolic setting. The site thus combines a clearly documented historical connection with a distinctly rural environment.

Church, Festival and Regional Culture

The Chiesa di S. Maria del Paradiso o di S. Sebastiano has a Latin-cross floor plan and a single-nave layout. At this church, the celebrations of San Sebastiano reach their climax on 20 January. Afterwards, during the traditional procession known as the “viaggiu”, the so-called “nudi” kiss the steps of the church. The architectural form and the procession thus create two distinct cultural accents.
