Land village now abandoned, but privately owned. The buildings, including the old sanctuary, are unsafe and inaccessible. However, it remains a place worth a visit;)

If you go to visit Monteruga I recommend you explore the dirt roads that surround it which being red lands are beautiful and full of descents and climbs

Farm and now abandoned village where you can breathe the past and the peasant life of not many decades ago. To be crossed in strict silence. (maxrampichino)
