Parco dei Gessi Bolognesi e Calanchi dell'Abbadessa

The 17th century Pilastrino (small pilaster) restored at the beginning of the century marks the place where the Camaldolese Monastery of Badessa Lucia from Settefonti was situated. Going ahead in the direction of Ciagnano, you will reach a picnic area where you will enjoy a great view over the plain and the imposing formation of Calanchi dell'Abbadessa northwards and, southwards, over Idice valley and a large stretch of the Apennines of Bologna.
