Take your time.
From the town to the castle, followed by lunch and San Filippo Abbey. A day with room for places, climbs and pauses.
THE PLAN
The town, from above and up close.
Plan your day around actual access and opening hours. You can swap the castle and abbey visits: check before setting off, especially if you want to go inside.
Morning · get your bearings
The streets of the centre
Begin with a walk in the historic centre and locate the castle on Monte Teja. Use this first part of the day to notice the town’s details and choose an approach that suits you.
Allow 45–60 min
Good to know. If you want to enter a place of worship, check that your visit does not conflict with services.

Towards the castle
Head uphill without rushing. The visit begins along the way, among the houses and changing views. Once in the area, check access to the castle ruins before approaching them.
Allow 60–90 min
Good to know. This is a time allowance for the stop, not a measured journey time. If the climb is too demanding, choose a shorter walk instead.
