The Masso Leopoldino, the ancient fortress of Rocca Vecchia, stands on the opposite side of the center of Sorano and, together with the Rocca Orsini and the bastions of Sorano, constituted the defensive system of the city. From this point, you have an extraordinary view of the city and the caves that adorn the cliffs.

The Masso Leopoldino, the old fortress Rocca Vecchia, is located on the opposite side of the inhabited town center of Sorano and together with the fortress Orsini and the city wall of Sorano formed the defense system of the city of Sorano. From here you have a particularly beautiful view of the city and the caves in the rock faces opposite.
