This 13th-century church of the Confraternity of the Disciplinati di Santa Croce has been remodeled over the centuries, but retains its general 13th-century layout: in particular, the portal with a round arch, the semicircular rose window, and several small terracotta arches on the side. The exposed stone bell tower has a beautiful modern sundial (1995). It is located just outside the historic center, on Via Roma, and is worth a visit.

A nice detour going up to Brosso. Worth a few more minutes of pedaling...

As Stefano wrote above, the town is built with the mountain techniques of the past centuries: stone and lime. If you are also a good eater, you cannot ignore the recipe for "zuppa di ajucche" from Valchiusella, a traditional dish of the region, made with a wild herb called "ajucche" (or "ajucche" in the local dialect). The typical recipe involves cooking bread, ajucche, and a mature mountain cheese, in overlapping layers, and then moistened with the cooking water of the herbs...

In reality, this place is not so "flat" because, from when the slopes become less steep to when the descent begins, there will not even be a hundred meters ... but the environment is superb, high mountain, and makes up for the road that, especially towards Frassinetto, is not in such good condition. There is nothing, not a bar, not a fountain ... but it is worth stopping and admiring the splendid panorama. Going up from Frassinetto the slope, after the village, becomes discontinuous and challenging, more gradual if you go up from Colleretto Castelnuovo, where the road alternates beautiful hairpin bends in the woods ... however, it is not a gift from this side either!

Leaving aside the chaos of the center, it is a pleasant city, rich in history and ideas for trekking and/or cycling.
