セッラサンキリコの洞窟・トップ4

a small village surrounded by nature, at Christmas a truly evocative living nativity scene is put on

Beautiful climb in the woods that ends on the edge of a canyon. Very steep for the first 1200 meters, pedalable for the remaining two km to the Castello di Precicchie

Pierosara is a small fraction of Genga with an ancient medieval castle. Here there is a defense tower and a 15th-century church, together with a panoramic view of the upper Esino valley.

The bridge over the Sentino River (which led to the Frasassi Caves) has a pointed arch on one side and a semicircular arch on the other. Access is via a fortified tower.

Very characteristic place. From here you can leave for the Foro degli Occhialoni. Follow the signs at the end of the bridge.

Tower of the external walls

In the territory of the municipality of Fabriano, at over 500 meters above sea level, there is the ancient Castle of Precicchie: a small fortified village of early medieval origin from whose structure one can guess the military function. In fact, it is accessed from the usual access door and the perimeter houses are fortified for defensive purposes with the keep built in high walls that rest on solid limestone rocks. The castle is cared for and preserved by an association that aims to protect and enhance it also through the organization of various events during the year, including during the Christmas period a traditional and evocative living nativity scene called A Castle ... unfolds along the winding streets.
