The approximately 600 m long fortress wall on top of the hill is already visible from afar. In the round of these walls today it is very touristy. Still worth the trip here. Everything is very well received.
Il Pozzo Restaurant is popular in the area. It is worth to try the Torta di Noci.

Super pretty village, as so often on top of a "hill". Manageable small, completely made of natural stone, complete "city" wall with towers, restaurants, small boutiques. A stop is definitely recommended, even if you have a short high. Approppos: Coming from the north, it is a steep dirt road, which forces you to push (at least the road bike), to the south but best asphalt.

Medieval village with still all the walls surrounding the fortress, called the castle. Inside there is a beautiful square and there are 2 main access gates: the north one is impervious with a very sloping dirt climb, the south one is asphalted and with a decidedly gentler slope.
