The San Michele site is accessible but haunted. The Pozze del Diavolo is accessible if you want to wade through flowing water. Very disappointing!!

The Osteria del Tancia was built towards the end of the Middle Ages, around the 15th century. It arose in a strategic position, on the pass of Mount Tancia, the highest peak of the Sabine Mountains, at about 800 meters above sea level. For centuries, the Osteria del Tancia represented the most important stop along the Via del Tancia, which was the main connection between the Rieti basin and the Sabina Tiberina. This road was frequently traveled by merchants, shepherds who practiced transhumance, pilgrims and bandits.

This grotto was dedicated to "San Michele Arcangelo". His portrait can be found as a fresco on the rock wall. The name of the archangel Michael (coming from the Hebrew language) means “Who is like God?” He is often depicted - in paintings or as a statue - with a flaming sword, and occasionally a lance. Michael is - together with Raphael and Gabriel, occasionally Uriel is also included - one of the three or four archangels who (according to human understanding) occupy the highest rank in the heavenly hierarchy of angelic beings. Their common feast day in the saints' calendar is September 29th.

From Wiki: "Legend has it that Gavignano (also known in ancient times as Sabinianum or Gabinianum) was built where there was a villa of the Gens Gabinia and that the town took its name from the Roman consul Sabiniano or Gabiniano. According to others it would instead have been founded on the ruins of Gabiniano or Gabio in Sabina, a city founded by the consul Aulus Gabinio. However, the town was already populated in Roman times, as evidenced by the traces of opus reticulatum walls. The first mention of the town in archival documents dates back to 1097. In the Middle Ages, the castle of Gavignano was owned by the Abbey of Farfa, by the Orsini family, by the counts of Ravenna, then by the Cesi family of Acquasparta, by the Vaini princes, by the Simonetti marquises and finally by the Pellegrini and De Somma families".
