View of Monte Faudo

Highlight • Viewpoint

From the top and even better or from Mount Follia a little further on...

Monte Faudo is easily doable both uphill and downhill with a gravel bike. I recommend going up from Dolcedo, or Civezza, arriving in both cases at S. Brigida, because it is less steep. The descent from the side of Monte Follia towards the Taggia valley is less clean, but this too is done with a gravel.

Saint Brigid's Chapel

Highlight • Religious Site

The Chapel of Santa Brigida is a medieval church built in 1425. It is located on the road that leads to the foot of Mount Faudo.
It takes the name of Santa Brigida because according to the legends in 1340 the Saint crossed this place to go to Rome and during her passage she chased the Devil out of the area.

Torre Prarola

Highlight • Monument

Along the disused railway line, transformed into a fabulous cycle path, there is a recently built rest area with a splendid view of the ruins of the Prarola Tower.

It is worth stopping here to enjoy the view.
