The Church of Sant’Apollinare marks the ideal beginning of the pilgrimage. Immersed in a rural and isolated context, it represents one of the oldest testimonies of peasant faith in the area.

Its structure, likely of medieval origin with subsequent renovations, stands out for its essential nature and sober stone facade. Historically, it was a spiritual reference point for the scattered farms, offering travelers a moment of quiet before facing the journey.

The atmosphere here is one of profound tranquility, an evocative prelude to the discovery of the other “small convents” (conventini).
