Holiday apartment in Fara Gera D'adda: Discover churches, Linificio and nature

Fara Gera D'adda is appealing if you would like to include cultural traces, distinctive buildings and natural features along the Adda River in your travel plans. When searching for a holiday apartment in Fara Gera D'adda, the desired mix of history, nature and special places is therefore a sensible starting point.

Churches with clear historical traces

The Basilica Autarena was built in the 6th century by the Lombard king Autari. Of the originally three-nave Basilica Autarena, a single nave and the central apse remain. This allows you to grasp not only the age of the building, but also the difference between its original layout and what remains today.

Another historical trace is the Linificio Canapificio Nazionale of Fara Gera D'adda. It was founded in 1870 for the Ceriani company. The internal hydroelectric power station dates from 1895. The municipality of Fara Gera D'adda also occasionally organises guided tours inside the Linificio Canapificio Nazionale. The two years mark different stages in the history of this place and complement the view of the religious buildings with an industrial theme.

Sacred art and architectural history

The present-day Church of Sant'Alessandro was built between 1761 and 1777. Its high altar houses a wooden crucifix carved in the 18th century. Together with the Basilica Autarena, it shows different periods in the religious architectural history of Fara Gera D'adda.

Footbridge over the canal and river branch

A special connection between the Linificio and the waterscape is the Pestalozza footbridge, generally known as the footbridge over the Adda. It crosses the outflow canal of the Linificio Canapificio Nazionale and a branch of the Adda River. At Groppello, it connects the municipalities of Fara Gera D'adda and Cassano d'Adda.

Bosco della Lanca and nature study visits

Bosco della Lanca lies between Cassano d’Adda and Fara Gera d’Adda, between the Adda River and a body of water incorrectly referred to as a “lanca”. La Lanca ODV occasionally organises guided nature study visits in the Bosco della Lanca nature reserve. In addition to the buildings, this introduces a nature theme that can steer your travel planning in a different direction.
