Acquarossa: historical path number 2Photo: Bellinzona e Valli Turismo
Explanation
The church is one of the most notable in Ticino, renowned for both its striking architectural layout and its precious Romanesque and late Gothic frescoes.
Having appreciated this little gem, continue across the Negrentino footbridge to reach the picturesque village of Leontica with the patronal Church of S. Giovanni Battista and the meeting point known as ‘Il Larice’.
The route then descends back to its starting point, on secondary roads and pleasant paths that wind through the surrounding woods, passing the Oratory of SS. Vincenzo de' Paoli, Giacomo and Bartolomeo in Comprovasco.
The loop route is 4.5 km long and lasts a total of 1 hour and 55 minutes. To truly appreciate this itinerary, we recommend allowing for a full day.
