The ruins of Castelvecchio are immersed in the dense forests of turkey oaks, oaks and holm oaks. The paths leading to it, which have now become paths, are covered with herbs and mosses. All ruins are surrounded by silence. Of this once vital village, the foundations of several buildings remain today, having been subjected to non-scientific excavations (using non-stratigraphic systems) for several decades. Thus, many houses were made visible, the remains of two mills with large stone mills, warehouses and ovens.

The path to get there is challenging, but the ruins are wonderful in a unique natural context. Any experienced biker should make this visit.
