Holiday apartment in Castiglion Fibocchi: routes and countryside

The rural surroundings of Castiglion Fibocchi include forests and olive groves. The listed routes start and end at Piazza delle Fiere and can be used on foot or by mountain bike. For your planning, this means that each of these routes leads back to the same square; you can organise the tours accordingly within your daily schedule. When choosing a holiday apartment in Castiglion Fibocchi, you can therefore weigh up whether the rural surroundings or the routes should be the focus of your days.

Historic churches with distinctive features

The Church of San Pietro in Pezzano was consecrated in 1232 and is accessible only during special celebrations. The Church of San Giovanni Battista has a single-nave layout and is furnished with stucco altars from the late 18th century. The Church of the Compagnia del Santissimo Crocifisso contains a wooden crucifix from the 16th century. The three examples have different focal points: a precisely dated consecration, a distinctive spatial form with furnishings, and a single wooden crucifix.

Carnival museum and archaeological finds

In addition to the carnival museum of Castiglion Fibocchi, an exhibition space preserves archaeological artefacts from the Pieve di San Quirico in Alfiano. Alongside the routes, the combination of carnival motifs and archaeological artefacts provides a cultural focus for planning your days.
