カステルディラマのおすすめライド

The medieval village is perched on a travertine cliff overlooking the Castellano River valley below. From the belvedere garden and the village streets, you can enjoy a breathtaking view of the surrounding countryside, including the dam and the Talvacchia Lake basin.

Piazza dell'Arengo, not Piazza del Popolo which is obviously a few meters away and is the historic square of Ascoli Piceno

Ancient Roman bridge in the hamlet of Ponte d'Arli - on the other side, a cast iron fountain

Very fast descent, excellent bottom

the Castelluccio plain, beautiful both in bloom and not

one of the most beautiful roads I've ever been on

Castellana Valley Entrance

The Lombards settled on this easily defended rocky ridge high above the Castellano river. The necropolis left by the Germans is truly special and is one of the greatest finds of the early Middle Ages. Later, the monastery played an important role and gave the economy a new boost, until it came under the administration of the city of Ascoli between the 12th and 14th centuries. The high rocky ridge gives the place a special character. The village is accessed through the only remaining gate and is characterized by a series of narrow streets that connect the various squares until they meet at the church of San Lorenzo with its bell tower. Every space has been skilfully used by the various houses that have arisen over the centuries. They are anchored in the rocks and lean against each other. This has created several breathtaking views in the few gaps between the houses, from where you can enjoy a beautiful view of the surrounding panorama.
