Portesone. The path here is only conditionally suitable for bicycles. Sturdy walking shoes are better.

Very interesting to look at the abandoned houses. What was the reason for the escape?

Portesone is a small abandoned village above Tellaro. In the 16th century the plague seriously affected the inhabitants and the survivors took refuge in Barbazzano, which was later abandoned.

An ancient agricultural and pastoral village, Portesone is characterized by stone houses with a particular structure. The lower floors were used as stables, while the homes were on the first floor, reachable by mobile wooden stairs.

These tower houses were necessary due to frequent pirate raids.

In 2021 the medieval village was completely cleaned up.
