Discovering the Bargiglio Tower
A guided walk to admire the landscape from the famous Eye of Lucca
A small...great excursion to discover the Bargiglio Tower, also known by the name of "Eye of Lucca".
A strategic observation point from the Matildic age and a fundamental means of communication with Lucca during the period of the wars between Seignories, on its summit we will discover the meaning of its appellation, with a marvelous 360-degree view from the Apuan Alps to the Pania of Corfino, the castles of Garfagnana and the Serchio Valley.
We will then admire the small village of Cune with its typical architecture and the Church of San Bartolomeo, immerse ourselves in the chestnut groves to reach Mount Agliale with its observatory, and finally walk along the evocative "Via dell'Amore," a vegetal corridor in casing that will introduce us to the beautiful Romitorio di San Bartolomeo, a place that will not fail to amaze us.
The tour will take place on Saturday, October 21, starting at 09:30 a.m.
