    Tips

    It is certain that in the period of the Second Punic War (217 BC), a village and a castle already existed in that territory, as historical fragments hypothesize a clash that occurred between Hannibal's troops marching towards Rome and a handful of Spoletos. in the pay of the Romans, right near the settlement.
    In 1305 with the advent of the Trinci Lordship, the castle and the surrounding areas began to take on an important role in the territory, until it reached its maximum splendor under Conrad III.
    Located at 811 meters above sea level, on the top of a ridge from which you dominate both the Via della Spina and the upper Menotre Valley, it can be reached easily by passing the town of Verchiano and following the dirt road that leads to Roccafranca and the Sanctuary of S. Salvatore.
    Unfortunately very little remains of the castle....
