Street map Giglio Castello, you are currently located in:
Staircase access to the Churchyard Church s. Peter
You are standing near the staircase that leads to the Churchyard of St. Peter, one of the most picturesque corners of Giglio Castello. From here, amid the scent of ancient stone and the silence of the village, branch off paths leading to three places linked to the life and memory of the village.
Climbing the steps you will reach the Church of St. Peter the Apostle, the spiritual centerpiece of the Castle, overlooking a small panoramic terrace. From here the view embraces the rooftops of the village and the distant sea. Retracing your steps, you can instead follow the alley that leads toward the Cistern, an ancient rainwater collection system, a testament to the ingenuity and daily life of the past. A little further along the same path is the Historical Archives, where documents and traces that tell centuries of island history are preserved.
This point is a small threshold between faith, ingenuity and memory: three directions, one soul, that of Giglio Castello.
