Hello, my dearest friends!
As I mentioned in yesterday’s post, I had the chance to prepare a post about a place I visited last week, which I had forgotten to tell you about. But in reality, I think it’s a beautiful place, and I want to share the many photos I took there.
I’m talking about Pereta, a hamlet of the municipality of Magliano, which I had already introduced to you in a previous post. It is also located in the province of Grosseto, a very beautiful place situated about 280 meters above sea level, just 9 km from the town I had previously told you about.
As soon as I arrived, the thing that struck me the most was definitely its tower, but also its entrance gate, which is very beautiful and scenic. It’s true that you often come across these typical medieval gates with such beautiful battlements, certainly because this area has a rich history, especially between the 10th and 11th centuries.
Once inside the village streets, I could also admire the gate from behind. The narrow streets winding through this beautiful village became even narrower, but they allowed me to practically touch these stunning stone houses.
As I continued my walk, all of a sudden, I found myself standing beneath the magnificent clock tower—a towering structure visible from afar, which was probably used for civic purposes. It is very tall; I think it must be over 30 meters high.
I also noticed a beautiful staircase leading up to this stunning tower—a great way to take a lovely walk, but also to admire the breathtaking panorama that the Aldobrandeschi family, who built this place for military purposes, once enjoyed.
I must say that the closer I got to this tower, the more imposing it seemed to me. In my opinion, standing before such a significant historical landmark is truly moving.
I must also say that this part of the village is very charming. I stopped to admire these beautiful passageways that connect one part of a house to another—a very distinctive feature.
I hope the photos I shared were interesting! Walking through the streets of Pereta definitely gives you the feeling of stepping back in time, just like I always say—it’s like taking a trip in a time machine to another era.
See you in my next post, and I wish you all a great start to the week!
