[MR] BBC: Templar Caves Under Osimo, Italy

[Garth Groff and Sally Sanford]

Noble Friends,

Today BBC Travel is offering a replay from 2000 of a very interesting tour
of Osimo, an Italian hill town important to the Knights Templar.

Signs of Templar presence are found all over the town, particularly in the
Cathedral, and in former Templar "domus", essentially barracks for the
Knights.

But beneath the town are over 8 kilometers of tunnels and caves which were
made by, or used by, the Knights Templar. They include chapels which are
richly decorated with Templar themed carvings.

You can take the spectacular video tour at

. The dialogue is in Italian, but includes subtitles.

Yours Aye,


Lord Mungo Napier, Laird of Mallard Lodge  🦆
