Fodor's Review:

The church and convent standing on top of 150-foot Monte dei Cappuccini date from 1583. Don't be surprised if you find yourself in the middle of a wedding party, as couples often come here to be photographed. Next to the church is the tiny Museo Nazionale della Montagna, dedicated to mountains and to mountain climbing.

  • Cost: Church free, museum EUR 6
  • Open: Church: daily 9-noon and 2:30-6; museum: Tues.-Sun. 9-7
