Tempietto di San Fedelino

Novate Mezzola, Italy

The Tempietto di San Fedelino is a 10th to 11th-century small, Roman Catholic sanctuary or church, located in a remote rural site at the south shore of the River Mera. The small church is made of local stone and has a rounded apse. It still retains some 11th-century frescoes. The frescoes resemble those from the apse of the church of San Vincenzo in Galliano (circa 1004–1007).

I visited this place on July 2024 and I can definitely say it’s worthy a visit - the location, surrounded by the river and the mountains, it’s truly charming. You can reach this place parking (freely) your car at the San Giovanni all’archetto church and then doing a 60minutes hiking route (quite easy, with just a couple of climbs). Nearby this small temple, there is a panoramic area that overlooks the lake. There is also a small beach in case you want take a bath in the lake.

06/08/2022 . I trekked to San Fedelino starting from Dascio. The little temple is nice but the view, before going back down to lake level, is fantastic. The route on the way down to the church is poorly marked. From the church, crossing a small grove you arrive at a small beach overlooking the lake which is truly hidden and spectacular. A fairly easy and truly satisfying trip.

Ancient temple in a secluded area, the walk to reach it is beautiful, I recommend the lower variant, the higher one is challenging and has a landslide at the end.

Beautiful Romanesque temple dedicated to San Fedele martyr! It can be reached starting from the small church of San Giovanni all'Archetto and following a path in the woods that runs along the Mera river.. the route is mostly flat but there are some ups and downs and two metal staircases. In less than an hour you reach the temple! p.s. prepare yourself for the clouds of midges and insects that will follow you throughout the entire journey!!

The path starts from the church of San Giovanni All'Archetto (Casenda) where it is possible to arrive by car following the last 500 meters of a slightly unpaved road. The path is quite simple (duration approximately 1.30 minutes, obviously it is also possible to follow another more demanding path lasting approximately 2 hours) suitable for everyone, only in a small central stretch which is a little more demanding, for the rest almost entirely flat and walking along the Mera river you arrive at the Tempietto Di San Fedelino (which can be visited from April to October from 2.00pm to 5.00pm only on Saturdays/Sundays and holidays). Continuing for another 100 meters you arrive at a beautiful beach with a spectacular view of the surrounding mountains.

Citadelle of Quebec

The Citadelle of Quebec is an active military installation and official residence of both the Canadian monarch and the Governor General of Canada. It is located atop Cap Diamant, adjoining the Plains of Abraham in Quebec City. The citadel is the oldest military building in Canada, and forms part of the fortifications of Quebec City, which is one of only two cities in North America still surrounded by fortifications, the other being Campeche, Mexico.

The first fortifications in Quebec were built by the Governor General of New France Louis de Buade, and completed just in time for the Battle of Quebec in 1690.

After the British conquest in the second half of the 18th century, the problem of Quebec City's defences grew more acute.
