About 6 Km. From Montone stands the ancient fortress of Rocca d'Aries in an excellent panoramic and strategic position. The etymology is not defined: for some it was founded by Darius, a Persian name; for others from the Latin dares = You will give companion of Aeneas; for still others Aries = ram = Montone. Tradition has it that the Fortebracci family started from this fortress to build Montone and their castle. La Tocca is located on a hill and offers an excellent panoramic view of the area. Easily accessible on foot or by bicycle, it is a regular stop for anyone passing by.

Magnificent place, the place surrounded by greenery and away from inhabited centers takes you back in time.
From Città di Castello the route is easy and suitable for all technical levels.
Highly recommended.
