Urban biking: Legends and stories
https://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GC75JQ1_broletto-2-0-where-the-urban-hiking-trail-begins
The Broletto was at the heart of the city life in the Middle Ages and still now it attracts locals and tourists
offering a combination of history, art and food experience.
Our cache will introduce you to a LEGEND about the place related to the origin of the city.
THE NOBLE FRANK, THE LADY AND HER LOVER
The story goes that, in the old times, on occasion of a Jubilee, a young man of royal origins was travelling
to Rome from the land of the Franks with his beautiful wife. The journey was long and quite exhausting
so they decided to stop for a few days in a place called Casaleggio (a village still existing nowadays, not
far from here). They were hosted for a few days by a noble family in their manor. There the beautiful lady
fell in love with a young nobleman, beginning a love affair.
While the husband was getting ready to leave and continue the journey to Rome, his wife was looking for
an excuse to remain in those lands with her lover, so she pretended she was sick. Her husband, who was
at the same time self-centered and naive, left for Rome by himself. But when he was on the way he kept
thinking about his poor wife, ill and lonely, and he felt guilty; so he suddenly decided to go back to her.
Unfortunately, once there he caught his wife in the arms of her young lover.
In order to run away from the husband‟s rage the two lovers sought refuge in a castle not far from there.
But the Frank nobleman found them: he was so mad that he set the castle to fire, and ordered his wife to
be burnt and her lover to be hanged.
In the old times this sort of things were quite normal, so the pope pardoned the Frank provided he would
have built a church in the name of the saints Gervasio and Protasio, in honour of the bishop of Milan, who
was the owner of the lands. The church was soon erected on a small hill between the rivers Agogna and
Terdoppio. And near the church a new town was established – its name was NOVARIA.
Of course this is just a story, reported by the historian Pietro Azario (1312-1366) as part of a propaganda
campaign on behalf of the Visconti family and their friends. Anyhow, it contributes to give a romantic
and dramatic twist to the story of the city.
From now on, when you cross the courtyard, give a glance to the two figures on the left end of the
frieze – you will remember what you have just read.
Some other historians have given a different meaning to the same two figures: they say that they portray a
soldier making love to his girl. The soldier is apparently leaving for war and the act was reckoned to bring
good luck and to propitiate victory over the enemies.
But the legend sounds much more intriguing, doesn‟t it?!
Now, have a look at the buildings around you and play with us: are you able to understand which Palace
is what? (you may need to read the Italian version of the text) If yes, you will get the HINT to find the
cache.

Be careful – the hint might be very useful since the coordinates might mislead you.

-----------------------------------------------
Il Broletto di Novara è un complesso architettonico medioevale costituito da quattro edifici storici sorti in
epoche diverse, con stili artistici differenti ma comunque in armonia, disposti a quadrilatero attorno ad un
cortile (o "Arengo") centrale. Vi si accede tramite un passaggio ad arco da Piazza della Repubblica (a
sud) ed un secondo arco da Corso Italia (a nord). Attualmente vi si tengono mostre ed esposizioni
temporanee e nel periodo estivo il cinema all'aperto. Il nome „Broletto deriva dal latino „Brolo‟ che
significa cortile. È stato il centro economico e sociale della città di Novara a partire dal Medioevo.
A NORD si trova l‟edificio più vecchio, il Palazzo dell’Arengo che risale al XIII secolo ed era la sede
del Consiglio di Giustizia, incaricato di giudicare le cause civili, mentre al piano superiore si trova un
ampio salone che veniva usato per le assemblee pubbliche; sulla facciata vi sono i resti di un fregio
pittorico risalente all'incirca al 1460 rappresentante stemmi e scene di episodi cavallereschi. A EST si
trova il Palazzo Paratici che apparteneva alle corporazioni artigiane, e nel XVIII secolo è stato ampliato
con un portico e una loggia. A SUD si trova il Palazzo della Podestà, il palazzo del capo magistrato della
città (ovvero la posizione più importante nel Medioevo). A OVEST si trova il Palazzo dei Referendari,
il palazzo degli ufficiali che lavoravano per il Podestà.
Il nobile tedesco, sua moglie e l'amante
La leggenda narra di un giovane tedesco di nobili origini diretto verso Roma in occasione del Giubileo,
insieme alla sua bellissima moglie. Il viaggio era lungo ed estenuante, per cui la coppia decide di fermarsi
per qualche giorno in un posto chiamato Casaleggio, ospitati da una famiglia nobile. La moglie si
innamora del nobile che la ospita. Mentre il marito si sta preparando per continuare il pellegrinaggio, la
consorte cerca una scusa per rimanere insieme al suo innamorato, dice quindi di essersi ammalata, per cui
suo marito prosegue il viaggio senza di lei, ma preso dal rimorso per aver abbandonato la sua povera
compagna, malata e sola, torna subito indietro: sfortunatamente, una volta tornato, trova i due amanti
insieme, i quali decidono di scappare in un castello vicino. Il marito però, riesci a trovarli dopo poco e
diede fuoco al castello, poi ordinò che sua moglie venne bruciata e che l‟amante venne impiccato. Nel
passato questo tipo di cose era abbastanza normale, per cui il Papa decide di perdonare l‟uomo a patto che
egli costruisse una chiesa per celebrare i Santi Gervasio e Protasio: la chiesa fu eretta su una collina tra le
rive dell‟Agogna e del Terdoppio e vicino alla chiesa nacque una citta: Novaria.
Se guardate al fregio situato nella parte alta del Palazzo dell'Arengo potete scoprire alcune figure
collegate alla storia che avete appena letto...
Nel passato, la piazza del Broletto era la sede di un mercato: le bancarelle erano posizionate tutte intorno,
i cronisti facevano i loro annunci su una pietra alta, sotto gli archi, il Consiglio della Giustizia faceva il
suo lavoro e i detenuti venivano condannati ed esposti alle umiliazioni del pubblico. Le tasse venivano
pagate sotto gli archi situati a nord e ogni quartiere del villaggio aveva il suo tavolo riconoscibile grazie ai
dei simboli (solitamente di animali).
Nel cortile si trova un pozzo: nel 1356 le truppe dei Marchesi del Monferrato occuparono la città, per cui
gli abitanti della città e dei villaggi vicini erano preoccupati che venissero imposte nuove tasse, quindi
attaccarono il Broletto, sequestrarono i documenti nei banchi dei notai e li buttarono dentro al pozzo.

GUIDELINES
This is an educational art trail devised by teachers and students from IPS Ravizza, Novara, as part of the
Erasmus+ project GEOCACHING MINDS ON THE MOVE.
The trail is meant to help players to understand the main features of neoclassical architecture and to see
the way architect Alessandro Antonelli‟s works helped turning Novara into a modern city
EDUCATIONAL TASK:
FOLLOW THE TRAIL AND TAKE NOTES OF YOUR REPLIES either on your cell phone or on a
piece of paper or notebook.
There will be 5 points of interest and 14 questions to answer while touring and observing.
At the end of your tour you will be directed to an interactive webpage where you will be able to upload
your replies (you can do it right on the spot or go back to it once you are at home). If your answers are

Romanesque style: When the Saints Go Marching In
https://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GC7CYD4_when-the-saints-go-marching-in
http://geocachingraviteam.weebly.com/all-saints.html
The Church of all Saints (early 12th century) is the only church in the city in the Romanesque style that
survived destruction and changes.
It is a simple three-nave building, with four bays each, a semicircular choir and an elegant and exquisite
octagonal lantern lit by lancet windows.
Inside the church there are traces of frescoes from the 15th century including a Madonna del Latte
attributed to Giovanni de Campo.
The current appearance of the church is the result of renovations made in the 1950s that cleared the heavy
Baroque adaptations, restoring the building to its original Romanesque style.
ALL SAINTS' CHURCH is the ideal starting point to understand the main features of Romanesque
Art in Northern Italy.
The cache is hidden by the church. The area can be quite busy on school days since the Art School of the
City has its headquarters just opposite the small street.
When the church is open you can enter, explore and learn by following a TRAIL designed by students
from Ravizza Secondary School: see geocachingraviteam.weebly.com/all-saints.html
-----------------------------------------------------
La Chiesa di Ognissanti (inizio del XII secolo) è l'unica chiesa della città in stile romanicosopravvissuta
alla distruzione e ai cambiamenti.

Si tratta di un semplice edificio a tre navate, con quattro campate ciascuna, un coro semicircolare e
un'elegante e squisita lanterna ottagonale illuminata da finestre a lancetta.
All'interno della chiesa ci sono tracce di affreschi del XV secolo tra cui una Madonna del Latte attribuita
a Giovanni da Campo.
L'aspetto attuale della chiesa è il risultato di ristrutturazioni fatte negli anni '50 che hanno eliminato i
pesanti adattamenti barocchi, riportando l'edificio al suo originale stile romanico.
La Chiesa è il punto di partenza ideale per comprendere le principali caratteristiche dell'arte romanica nel
nord Italia.
La cache è nascosta vicino alla chiesa. L'area può essere abbastanza trafficata nei giorni di scuola, dal
momento che il Liceo Artistico della città ha sede proprio di fronte all‟ingresso della chiesa.
Quando la chiesa è aperta si può entrare, esplorare e imparare seguendo un PERCORSO progettato dagli
studenti dell‟Istituto IPS Ravizza: vedi www.geocachingraviteam.weebly.com/all-saints.html

Discover Loja views from 5 of this touristic viewpoints. This Multicache trip is an Ies Moraima's
propouse as a part of its Erasmus+ proyect, in which people from six different countries will learn the
History and find out the best views of the city where the will be taken in for a week.
El recorrido, aunque largo, vale totalmente la pena. Los cachers, en esta ocasión no solo deberán buscar el
cache en cada uno de los miradores, sino que una vez encontrados deberán resolver un acertijo que les
dará la localización del siguiente lugar donde deben buscar. Mientras buscáis, no olvidéis levantar la
cabeza de la pantalla y contemplar las iglesias y estatuas que encontraréis por el camino, y si os sobra
tiempo, ¿por qué no probar uno de los tradicionales Roscos de Loja?
The trip, despite being long, is totally worth. This time, cachers won't only have to look for the cache in
each viewpoint, but they will also have to solve a ridle to find out the location of the next place where
they have to look for. While you are looking for, don't forget to lift your head from the screen and look at
the churches and statues you will find during the trip, and if you have time after finishing, why not to
taste one of the tipical Loja's donut?

ITINERARY TO SEARCH FOR THE CACHEs
1. Starting point of the tour: Granada cathedral.
We start our tour in the most religious and social
core of Granada, an outstanding place since the city
conquer by the Catholic Kings. The cathedral was

was founded.

represented in a nearby statue,
which gives its name to the
square:

and you can have access to it through both the

is Elizabethan-Gothic, especially remarkable for the

Phillip the handsome and
Miguel da Paz, prince of
Portugal and grandson of
the Catholic Kings

here, there are also:
a. a.those of her daughter Juana the mad and
those of her husband, the beautiful Felipe, as
well as those of the infant Miguel of the

Peace of Portugal, grandson of the Catholic kings.
b. b.The infants of Aragon.
c. c.Boabdil
3. In Plaza Nueva, one of the most important and
bustling places of Granada there is a Renaissance palace. The
Catholic kings created the royal audience and “Chancilleria”
and established it as a judicial body. After the conquest of the
city of Granada it was decided to locate in this city. It was the
first building that was built to house a court of law.
1) On the sides of the large central
balcony, seated in the pediment
appear:
a. .A statue of the kings.
b. Justice and fortress under
the royal shield.
c. The virgin of the anguish.
2) The cover is a semicircular arch
surrounded by Corinthian
columns on pedestals. Above the
columns there is a straight
fronton with an inscription.
a. Felipe II and the date of
construction of the
building.
b. The prisoners who were
executed in 1492.
c. a poem by Garcia Lorca
4. In front of the “chancilleria”, there is a fountain. The pillar was attached
to a house, in the place where a small square opened, in front of a
guest house. It was used as an animal trough and water supply for the
neighbors of the neighborhood.
1) Its name refers to an animal that
is represented by:
a. a gazelle’s head.
b. a dog’s head.
c. a bull’s head.
2) The frontis is finished with a
triangular cornice in whose
center it emphasizes:
a. The shield of the city of
Granada
b. a crucifix.

5. Going up the hill Gomerez to Alhambra and before come into the most
important Granada’s forest we arrive at triumphal arch-door that P.
Machuca built to commemorate the arrival of Carlos V to Granada.
1) The name of the door is due to
a. Two allegories of peace.

decorating the lintel.
c. Two angels in procession.
2) The triangular eardrum
represents a coat of arms of the
Emperor Charles V that
supports:

and abundance.

6. We come into
Alhambra’s forest; we’ll reach the heart of the Muslim Granada, palatal city
of the nazarí kingdom, the last Islamic stronghold in the Iberian peninsula.
The gateway The Gate of Justice, Bad al-Sharia, is one of the four gates
than give entrance to the palatial site of the Alhambra.

inner corners which are covered
by vaults:

b. semicircular

7. Already inside the enclosure we are in the Alhambra. It is a group
of palaces, gardens and fortress that housed a true citadel within the
city of Granada itself that served like lodging to the monarch and to the
court of the Nazarí Kingdom of Granada. Its true appeal, as in other
Muslim works of the time, lies not only in the interiors, whose
decoration is among the summits of Andalusian art, but also in its
location and adaptation, generating a new landscape but totally
integrated with the preexisting nature.
In the same center of the enclosure we go to the Palace of Charles V.
Called this way because it was built at the beginning as the residence of
Emperor Charles. His architect was Pedro de Machuca in 1542.
His style is renaissance. Is located next to the Nazarí Palace of
Comares, what supposes a great contrast with the Islamic architecture of
the surroundings.
1) In all the perimeter of the
building they emphasize
some rings of bronze with a
decorative function:
a. 5 gold rings
b. 40 bronze rings
c. 100 stone rings

pediment are:

winged statues

emperor

MORAIMA CACHES
We are really into geocaching and it has been created a new club at the school so that this project can
continue alive after its end in Novembre 2018. In order to practice in a safe way before going out of
the school. The Erasmus team has created a trail inside the school which is not obviously published,
but it can be very useful to teach our students to go geocaching. We have tried it twice and it has
always been a great success.
