The second star … at the Cà del Monte Planetarium and Astronomical Observatory in the Oltrepò Pavese

The fascinating world of the stars is not just in books: if you come to the Oltrepò Pavese, you can literally immerse yourself in the depths of the cosmos, thanks to the equipment of the Planetarium and Astronomical Observatory Cà del Monte , near Cecima, on the border between Lombardy and Piedmont .

The Observatory is located in a dominant and strategic position for sky observation, at an altitude of 670 m above sea level. With giant binoculars, telescopes and a digital projection system, the experience at the Cecima Planetarium is unforgettable, both for adults and children.

Depending on the season, different activities and insights are planned, all of them very interesting.

This is a trip to the Oltrepò for the whole family, for all ages, that can be organized at any time of the year and even when it rains. It is always necessary and recommended to contact the Astronomical Observatory to make an appointment.

It is a truly original way to spend a day in the hills, with the possibility of learning a lot about the universe, thanks to the explanations of the experts and the immersive projections of images and videos. The history of the constellations has always been linked to those of Greek mythology, so it will be nice to let yourself be transported in space and time for a day.

From the top of the Planetarium and Astronomical Observatory of Cà del Monte the view is priceless and the emotions of discovering planets, stars and constellations are not easy to describe, they really have to be experienced.

Wanna give a look into the universe far from the city lights? You can, from the top of the Oltrepò hills.
