VISITING GENAZZANO - EN
Visiting Genazzano, from Australia!
Genazzano is a lovely town not too far from Rome, so if you are staying in the big Capital for a while, this is definitely worth a visit!
You can easily get there by bus or in 1 hour drive on the highway towards Naples.
Must see attractions from the top down:
Colonna Castle with its park and the Contemporary Art Gallery; getting lost among hundreds of these narrow medieval alleys is amazing;
the Church Lady of the Good Counsel is apparently a very popular attraction for religious tourism and if you're lucky enough someone will tell you the story about a miracle...
On the way, you'll get along these small local shops, sometimes the merchant will be sitting on the street waiting for customers, here is probably the origin of the street food as we see it nowadays.
If open, visit also the Church Santa Croce; a few steps more and you can see the old entrance and walls of the medieval town.
As last, better if by the sunset, Ninfeo Bramante is the ruins of an ancient theater dated XVI' century.
Best period to go for me is June-July, check out when is going to be the next PALIO DI BRANCALEONE and INFIORATA!
Enjoy!
