 THE VILLAGE lies in a southern valley of Copsa Mare and is first mentioned in a historical document in 1283 and as a trading centre in 1397. The magnificent church of Mary is 44m long and surrounded by two circular fortified walls with a third one on the west-south-west side. In 1468 the most inner wall was consolidated by four towers and bastion. The altar piece in the church is exceptional. The church was restored in 1943 and in 1993 it was put on the UNESCO World Heritage list.
THE ACCOMMODATION consists of two quite separate large rooms containing two beds in each room with shower and WC. The rooms overlook a cobbled courtyard and stable. On the right of the courtyard there is a kitchen, which is part of a quiet shop selling local crafts, lace embroidery and painted furniture.
