The Miraculous Spring
Mystery Tour
The discovery of the healing waters of the San Cristoforo spring dates back to the end of the 15th century, when a shepherd noticed that some sick sheep were cured after drinking from the natural pools that formed on the surface. When the news reached the Manfredi, the lords of Faenza, they decided to have a well dug in order to make better use of the miraculous water.
We will take you on a night walk to discover this spring and its surroundings, walking in the silence of twilight, listening to the night sounds and a few more legends.
