Church of San Cristoforo of Montemaggiore

Highlight • Religious Site

This church, dedicated to San Cristoforo, is located in the hamlet of Montemaggiore. Situated on a ridge between the Samoggia and Lavino valleys, it is of recent construction, as the pre-existing one was almost completely razed to the ground on May 29, 1929, due to a strong earthquake with its epicenter in Montemaggiore.

I don't understand why KOOMOT considers this track DIFFICULT... There is no technical section, on the contrary. The only "difficulty" may be in identifying the track between via Montanara and Via Malvezzo and another short section towards Fagnano but only because they are not very well used.
