Holiday apartment in Martella: culture, cycle paths and regional discoveries

Martella can be explored through tangible traces of history, nature and regional cultural life. Corte La Martella is also known as Corte dell’Ospedale San Giacomo al Casalino; today it is associated with the Minuz-Caracciolo heirs. The origins of Corte La Martella can be explored on Via Onni. An inventory from 1749 described an area called Martella with grain fields, mulberry trees and several vineyards. The villa of Corte La Martella was renovated at the beginning of the 20th century. Villa Verità in the wider area around Martella probably dates from the late 16th century.

It also supported the concert for choir and orchestra “Insieme con la musica”, with the aim of bringing together the two local choirs from San Pietro di Morubio and Bonavicina.
