From the imposing chestnut forest, the main path leads to a clearing located on a huge travertine spur, overlooking the forest. On the rock face, you can see, at the top right, the fascinating structure of the Hermitage of San Marco, a natural cavity closed by a church-shaped building with a bell tower and connected to the path by a stone staircase. The wall, in Romanesque style, is made of ashlar stones and has a single-lancet window and five double-lancet windows.

Here is the hermitage of San Marco, a hermitage that was built in the 13th century. This place of worship is dedicated to St. Mark the Evangelist, a disciple of the apostle St. Peter and Paul.
