    Hiking

    The thousand-year-old church of Santa Perpetua is located on a natural balcony overlooking Tirano. For hundreds of years the church was a central point of passage between the Rhine and Inn valleys with Valtellina and Val Camonica, then with the Po plain and the Mediterranean. Next to the sacred building, the remains of a xenodochio, a hostel for travelers and pilgrims, are still visible.

    The Church of Santa Perpetua and the surrounding buildings were an ancient hospice for pilgrims. It was a complex of structures built to welcome wayfarers, of which only the church and a few remains remain today. Some of the buildings date back to the 12th century and there are also ancient frescoes. The panorama from here is beautiful.
