A 527 m s.l.m. sul colle Brocco<\/b>, raggiungiamo il comune di Broccostella<\/b>, nel cui territorio scorre indisturbato il fiume Fibreno.\u00a0<\/p>

Broccostella \u00e8 una porta verde tra la Valle del Liri e la Valle di Comino, la cui storia comunitaria inizia gi\u00e0 nel neolitico, come testimoniano le suppellettili e le armi in pietra ritrovate sulla collina che domina il lago di Fibreno.<\/p>

Following the path that starts from Colle Brocco, you can enjoy the wide view on the Valley of Sora and on the top of the hill, Brocco Alto, visit the church of S. Michele Arcangelo<\/b>, which together with the Castle of Brocco <\/b>represents the first settlement in the area. The Castle however was destroyed by Frederick II of Svevia in 1230, just like other fortified strongholds in the Duchy of Sora, and the ruins can now be reached only through a lonely and narrow cobbled street.<\/p>

Continuando la discesa verso la pianura, incontriamo la <\/span>chiesa della Madonna delle Chiaie<\/b>, risalente probabilmente al XV secolo.<\/span><\/p>

Il suo aspetto rurale, la delicata intersezione tra la sua facciata con il dolce pendio e gli ulivi che la circondano, si coniugano perfettamente con il ritmo lento e naturale della vita del borgo e il sereno scorrere delle giornate nella Valcomino.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

A peacefulness however shattered in the 20th century during World War II by the battle between the 8th English army and the German troops, whose mortar bullet fell on the small church and hit the altar without though exploding. The documents found and the scars left make it easy to grasp how this land and its buildings have fought to preserve their own religious-cultural identity despite the natural disasters and the battles that took place here over the years, thus showing a strong spirit that is still a peculiarity of its people.<\/span><\/p>

Proseguendo verso il centro cittadino, incontriamo un\u2019altra architettura religiosa che ribadisce il forte sentimento di appartenenza e di spiritualit\u00e0 dei Broccostellani.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Connotata da linee nitide, la <\/span>chiesa della Madonna della Stella<\/b>, si presenta all\u2019esterno rivestita interamente in mattoni, mentre all\u2019interno l\u2019atmosfera essenziale si tinge di colori e luce naturale, grazie alle undici vetrate artistiche che sono state realizzate in occasione della costruzione della chiesa.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Come la sua comunit\u00e0, si presenta fiera, accogliente, spoglia di decorazioni non necessarie, ma di carattere e generosa, diventando punto di arrivo e di partenza dei viaggiatori della Valcomino.<\/span><\/p>

Nestled on a hill, Colle Brocco<\/b>, at 527 m above sea level, is the town of Broccostella<\/b>, a small municipality where the Fibreno river flows placidly. Broccostella is a green gateway between the Liri Valley and the Comino Valley and the history of this community can be traced back up to the Neolithic age, as proved by the furnishings and stone weapons found on the hill overlooking Lake Fibreno.<\/p>\n

Following the path that starts from Colle Brocco, you can enjoy the wide view on the Valley of Sora and on the top of the hill, Brocco Alto, visit the church of S. Michele Arcangelo<\/b>, which together with the Castle of Brocco <\/b>represents the first settlement in the area. The Castle however was destroyed by Frederick II of Svevia in 1230, just like other fortified strongholds in the Duchy of Sora, and the ruins can now be reached only through a lonely and narrow cobbled street.<\/p>\n

While walking down towards the plain, it is worth stopping by at the church of Madonna delle Chiaie<\/b>, probably dating back to the 15th century. Its rural appearance, the delicate intersection between its fa\u00e7ade and the softly sloping hill all around covered in olive trees, perfectly combine with the slow and natural pace of the life of the small town and the peaceful flow of the days in the Comino Valley.<\/p>\n

A peacefulness however shattered in the 20th century during World War II by the battle between the 8th English army and the German troops, whose mortar bullet fell on the small church and hit the altar without though exploding. The documents found and the scars left make it easy to grasp how this land and its buildings have fought to preserve their own religious-cultural identity despite the natural disasters and the battles that took place here over the years, thus showing a strong spirit that is still a peculiarity of its people.<\/p>

Keeping walking towards the town centre, on the way you can stop at another religious building confirming the strong feeling of belonging and spirituality of Broccostellani, the people from Broccostella. It is the church of Madonna della Stella<\/b>, marked by sharp lines and entirely covered in bricks on the outside: inside the basic and simple atmosphere is filled with natural colours and light, thanks to the eleven artistic windows that were installed when the church was built. Like its community, it proudly shows itself, looking welcoming, yet stripped of unnecessary decorations, with a distinctive and generous character, thus becoming a point of arrival and departure for travellers in the Comino Valley.<\/p>\n
