Discover Sesto Al Reghena

Sesto Al Reghena brings together cultural and historical themes with landscapes and outdoor activities. To plan your trip, you can first decide whether to focus on architectural and ecclesiastical history, time in nature, or a mix of both. The abbey, archaeological site, mill architecture, Prati Burovich and Lago delle Premarine offer different points of interest.

Abbey, Relics and Mill Architecture

The Benedictine Abbey of Santa Maria in Sylvis was founded in the first half of the 8th century. This early date provides a historical reference point reaching far back in time. The “Urna di Sant'Anastasia” holds the saint's relics. This brings two different perspectives together: the founding period of a Benedictine abbey and a tangible religious testament.

The “Sant'Andrea” archaeological site adds another perspective. It lies south of the basilica and traces the floor plan of the ancient church of Sant'Andrea. The floor plan offers a different way of accessing the past than the reliquary urn: one concerns the spatial form of an ancient church, the other the saint's relics. In this way, the abbey's founding history, archaeological form and religious tradition can be considered as distinct cultural themes.

The “Area dei Mulini di Stalis” complex broadens the perspective to include mill construction. It is a relatively well-preserved example of medieval mill architecture. Thus, alongside religious and archaeological themes, the construction of mills emerges as a focus in its own right. If you are interested in different historical themes, you can distinguish between these architectural forms rather than reducing cultural history to a single subject.

Prati Burovich and Lago delle Premarine

Prati Burovich consists of permanent meadows that have not been cultivated for centuries. This long continuity is part of their landscape character. You can also cross the meadows on foot or by bicycle. Prati Burovich therefore brings together two distinct aspects: centuries of non-cultivation and the opportunity to actively traverse the landscape.

Lago delle Premarine is a restored gravel pit lake. This description adds a landscape context to the activities available at the lake: in addition to its restoration, the area offers walks and birdwatching. These two activities offer different focuses. A walk connects you with the lake through movement, while birdwatching focuses your attention on the birds. Together with the options for crossing Prati Burovich, this gives you a choice between a route through the meadows and activities by the lake.

Include Bicycles in Your Plans

If you are planning to use bicycles during your stay, the pickup and drop-off location is also important. Sesto by Bike bicycles are picked up and returned at the IAT office in Piazza Castello in Sesto Al Reghena. Include both steps in your daily schedule if you plan to use the service. If renting a bicycle is a fixed part of your plans for a particular day, check the provider's current information in advance.
