Just a short distance from the city, Campo dei Fiori Regional Park offers a peaceful haven where nature preserves precious treasures of local history.

The itinerary guides visitors through shaded chestnut and broadleaf forests, offering a truly rejuvenating experience in nature. As you approach the summit of Monte San Francesco (793 m), the dense woodland opens up to reveal striking panoramic views over the surrounding landscape.

The highlight of the experience awaits at the top, where the evocative ruins of the Monastery of San Francesco in Pertica and its ancient church emerge from the greenery. Wandering among the remains of this medieval complex provides a rare opportunity to connect with the heritage of the Varese area and soak in the quiet mystery of a site once dedicated to meditation and monastic life.
