Discover Borgo Pace: Mountains, Circular Trails and Culture

Holiday apartment in Borgo Pace between nature and culture

The Abbey of San Michele Arcangelo in Lamoli was commissioned by Benedictine monks between the 9th and 10th centuries and has been documented in records since 1218. It contains three late-15th-century frescoes: a Madonna nursing the Child, Saint Roch and Saint Julian. Romanesque, Gothic and Renaissance elements have been preserved at Castello di Bavia; they stand above an earlier Roman villa with heated baths.

The Church of Santa Maria Nuova, rebuilt in the centre of Borgo Pace’s main square, also adds a distinctive cultural feature. Its side altar contains a panel by the Umbrian school from the late 15th century depicting the Virgin and Child with angels. In this way, Borgo Pace brings together sacred art, different historical periods and vivid historic buildings.

The wider area around Borgo Pace contains further destinations with their own distinctive character. The Museo di Informatica e Storia del Calcolo is a museum there. Vitelli in Saint Giacomo Palace is a palace, as is Palazzo dei Priori. The Fondazione Palazzo Albizzini Collezione Burri is a museum. The cultural spectrum thus extends from churches and palaces to the history of computing and the Burri collection.

Mountains, habitats and circular trails

The landscape includes several mountains in the area around Borgo Pace: Monte Nesci, Monte Todo Pulito, Poggio delle Campane and Simoncello. The area extends from the mountain habitat at Bocca Trabaria to hillier areas near the town. These diverse landscapes are home to a wide variety of animal and plant species, including numerous rare species.

The Sentiero del Carbonaio is a themed circular trail between Borgo Pace and Torre Sant’Andrea. The Sentiero della Natura is a circular trail between Parchiule and La Villa. The Sentiero dei Colori is a themed circular trail in Valderica near Lamoli. This allows you to include nature and themed trails as individual day-trip ideas in your travel planning.

The route from Ranco Fabbro to Borgo Pace follows CAI hiking trails no. 389 and 385. The regional profile is complemented by the Patata Rossa di Sompiano. This is an indigenous potato variety cultivated and protected by a local farmers’ association. For travellers interested in regional specialities, it is a tangible example of the connection between the landscape and local agriculture.
