This short but interesting route, leads back to the origins of the Community of Lamon, that started to gather around an ancient fort built by Romans in the 1st century AD in defense of the Claudia Augusta military road. Some historians assume that on the hill of St. Peter there was also a small temple dedicated to Jupiter Ammon, the roman god, of which the name of the country is named after, while others trace it back to Etruscan origins. In the Middle Ages from the remains of the castle, which had lost its strategic function, was built a chapel dedicated to St. Peter. Through the centuries, the church was enlarged and enriched with decorations, an organ and paintings, among which stands out the one by the painter Pietro Marescalchi. Before reaching the top of the hill, you can admire the exterior of the Church of St. Daniele recently restored .
