The ruins of Sacco Vecchia are an ancient Lombard village that once stood on the slopes of Mount Motola. The village was abandoned between the 9th and 11th centuries when its inhabitants moved further downstream, where they founded the current village of Sacco. Today there are the remains of the crenellated walls of the castle and of the church of San Nicola.
