Valadier Temple, Genga:
This majestic octagonal chapel has an amazing location: in the heart of a natural cave on the side of a mountain in the Gorge
of Frasassi. One hour hiking to a breath-taking hidden gem.
The Garden of Ninfa
The Garden of Ninfa is a lush park in Lazio, which includes the ruins of the ancient city of Ninfa. One of Italy’s best-kept secrets, it is considered one of the most beautiful sites in the world by garden lovers.
Grotte degli Schiavi, Conero (Fable)
The Grotte degli Schiavi (Slaves’ Caves) were used by pirates to jail slaves. One day a beautiful princess was made
prisoner: her tears formed the source of pure water that still flows into the Adriatic Sea.
