Barona
Barona: a bit of history and geography
Hello friends, today I'm going to talk about Barona, a hamlet of the Municipality of Albuzzano, in Lombardy. Barona hasn't always been just a hamlet, but an independent municipality until 1872. Imagine how life must have been in this territory, made up of cultivated fields and lush woods. Today, Barona extends over an area of just under two square kilometers, located a few kilometers from Pavia.
Barona's attractions
In this corner of the world, nature reigns supreme, offering impressive landscapes. I recommend taking a walk through the streets of the village to admire the typical Lombard architecture and little churches, such as the Madonna della Neve (Our Lady of the Snow) church. But you can't leave Barona without making a stop in the picturesque square, where you'll find the new church, dedicated to Saint John the Baptist. The square, with its trees and outdoor tables, is perfect for resting and enjoying a coffee or a glass of wine, admiring the beauties of these places.
The surrounding territory
If you feel like hiking, I recommend taking an excursion in the surrounding woods, where you can admire the typical vegetation of the area, including species of oaks, beeches, and chestnuts. And if you're lucky, you might come across some animals that roam in the undergrowth, such as dormice, squirrels, and foxes.
What to do in Barona
But there's not only nature in these places. If you love wine, don't miss the opportunity to visit one of the many wineries in the area. Barona is located in the heart of the Oltrepò Pavese, a wine-producing area of great importance. Also, don't miss tasting the typical products of this land, such as cold cuts, cheeses, honey, and jams, all of the highest quality.
