Why you should visit it

The air is cleaner up here plus you're breathing in the hill's energy from centuries ago. This hill was once covered with vineyards in the 18th century and before that it was a common place for pagans. After being thrown off the hillside in a barrel by pagans, St. Gerard's martyrdom is memorialized in a statute. At the top, check out the Citadella!
