Have you already visited Rocca Pitigliana, ancient village and church which is accessed through the rock?

Have you already visited Rocca Pitigliana? Rocca Pitigliana is a characteristic ancient village that is part, being a fraction of it, of Gaggio Montano, in the province of Bologna, in Emilia Romagna.

Gli elementi architettonici che caratterizzavano Rocca Pitigliana erano il castello (del quale restano solo alcune gallerie visibili che erano usate per entrare nella fortezza) e la chiesa e il campanile arroccati su di uno sperone roccioso a cui si può accedere anche attraverso un passaggio scavato nelle pietra e che si trova sul lato destro della costruzione.

The architectural elements that characterized Rocca Pitigliana were the castle (of which only some visible galleries that were used to enter the fortress remain) and the church and bell tower perched on a rocky spur which can also be accessed through a passage carved into the stone, located on the right side of the building.
