This is the outermost street on one side of La Rocca, running along the edge of the ravine. It leads to the Church of San Donato, the belltower of which can be seen in the photo on the right. |

"N'GAMBAGNE" |
|
|
|
"N'Gambagne", as it is known in the local dialect,and meaning "in the country", is a section of Roccamorice which is separated from the town proper by a ravine. Until a new bridge over the ravine was built, perhaps 40 to 50 years ago, the only way the people of N'Gambagne could get to town was by walking a path down the ravine and up the other side into La Rocca. |

|
 |
|
|
|
|
The photo at left looks down from Le Limit to show a section of the path at the bottom of the ravine. The photo on the right shows the path ascending from there up the La Rocca side of the ravine, where the town proper is. |

At left is the old abandoned church of St. Ann on the N'Gambagne side of the ravine; the path descends just below it. Long ago this church probably served the people of this area. The photo at right shows the fountain called Fonte Cialiort. It is located in the ravine below N'Gambagne, and before modern plumbing, this fountain served as a source of water and a place to do laundry for people in this part of town. |
