Here there is one of the castles that characterize some peaks in the region. Of protohistoric age, they are a rare testimony of the pre-Etruscan Umbrian civilization. They were masonry fortifications made of stones obtained on site, usually located on peaks with a strategic view.

An evocative place, both for the piles of stacked stones that create a Zen and meditative context, and above all for the surprising panorama towards Umbertide and the valley below.
