Days Out from Secinaro - Popoli
(14 Stations of the Cross)
A visit to Popoli can include a walk up to the old
Castle which looks down on the town and, on
the way up, you can take in the Sculptures
depicting the 14 Stations Of The Cross.
You can just enjoy these as Sculptures on your
way up or, if you are religious, you can go along
with the Pilgrimage of reflecting upon each one
and praying as you go up (Normally this would
be done over the Easter period and specifically
on Good Friday).
