From this stretch of the provincial road you can enjoy the view towards the village of Montenero di Bisaccia and the Calanchi di Montenero, an area of about 120 hectares, where there are erosive forms created by the action of rainwater on the clayey soil. The area is a site of community interest (SIC), identified by the Ministry of the Environment for its naturalistic and landscape importance.

Montenero di Bisaccia is a town in Molise located on a hill 10 km from the sea and the Trigno river. It is possible to visit the Mother Church, the Municipal Palace and just outside the historic centre, the Sanctuary of Maria Santissima di Bisaccia.

The Torre della Fara is located in Torre della Fara in the municipality of Celenza sul Trigno in the province of Chieti. The tower is located near the Trigno river and the Ateleta-Biferno tratturo and was in visual connection with neighboring towns and with the monastery of Santa Maria del Canneto in Roccavivara (Molise). The tower dates back to the 12th century.[1] Even if the toponym recalls the Longobard fara, it is, however, difficult to identify the period of construction of the site.[ The tower has a cylindrical structure and is made of stone[1], but stone fragments are also used to frame the openings and loopholes[2]. The tower is 15 meters high and 6 meters in diameter. The tower has no scarp walls and, at a third of the height there is an opening which, probably, is a raised entrance. Furthermore, inside there are the holes where the beams used to support the various levels. The roof inside is vaulted with a lowered cap. The use of mortar in the Torre della Fara decreases with height[1] just as the thickness of the walls decreases with increasing height

According to oral tradition, it seems that San Michele, who left from the East to defeat paganism, stopped in a wood near Liscia before arriving on the Gargano; this wood is located around Monte Sorbo, an area that in ancient times had a high anthropic density, as can be seen from the remarkable archaeological material found here and coming from Italic tombs. Still on the subject of legend, it is said that a man from Palmoli, a village in the upper Vasto bordering Liscia, intent on grazing cows near the Treste river, noticed that a young bull got lost every day and then returned in the evening. One day, however, the farmer, intrigued by this mysterious behavior, decided to follow his animal and saw that the vegetation opened up, as if by magic, as it passed, as if to indicate a direction to follow; this strange path led him to a cave where he saw the bull kneeling in front of a wooden image of St. Michael the Archangel, which miraculously made water gush out so that man could quench his thirst and recover from the discovery to witness this event supernatural. In memory of these events that occurred in Liscia, the Marquesses of Avalos, in the eighteenth century incorporated the cave inside a small church, perhaps, to regulate the large influx of pilgrims who are here recalled by popular devotion to the Archangel Michael, a cult that is lost in the mists of time.
