Cori On the trail

Cori with a licensed guide

Cori

Cori has a Roman temple still standing at the top of the town and a church built straight onto another one lower down, with the old columns left in the wall, holding it up.

How the day goes

  1. Up through a town stacked on Roman terracing, which is why it has not slid off the hill.
  2. The church, opened specially for the visit, with the temple built into its fabric.
  3. Where Thomas of Cori was born, and what the town has made of him since.
  4. The view down over the plain to the sea, which is what the Romans were watching.

The church is opened by arrangement rather than standing open, so this one happens with the guide or not at all.
