On the top of the mountain, between Fondi, Lenola and Vallecorsa are the remains of the ancient fortified settlement of Acquaviva, dating back to the 11th century AD, definitively abandoned in the 16th century after the sack by brigands led by Marco Sciapa. A circular path leads to the remains of the ancient fortified settlement. Border between the Papal State and the Bourbon Kingdom, as evidenced by the characteristic stone columns (cippi) present on this site.

The ruins of the fortified medieval village of Acquaviva rise on a peak of the ridge of the Ausoni Mountains. What remains of that village, perched on a suggestive hill at 617 meters between the mountains of Fondi and Vallecorsa, are the walls, the ramparts, the water cisterns and the remains of material necessary for the agricultural life of the population; among these there are still some stone wheels for the grinding of the olives.
