Nice stretch of slope, but it is the prelude to entering the Monzone forest and arriving at the Devil's Bridge

It is believed that the rocky block on which Roccapelago stands was an ancient prehistoric castle. The first mention of a "Castrum Pelago" is found in a document dated 753. Roccapelago probably belonged to the Gualandelli family since the 12th century, and was subsequently a fiefdom of the Montegarullo family from 1240, whose warlike politics it suffered, especially under Obizzo da Montegarullo. In 1393, Obizzo having rebelled against the Este family, Roccapelago was besieged by the Lucchese allies of the house of Este, who took possession of the castle. In 1396 Obizzo managed to regain possession of it and Roccapelago remained with the Montegarullo family until 1408 when a powerful military contingent, under the command of Uguccione dei Contrari, managed to capture it and take it prisoner to Ferrara. In 1586, the new church of Roccapelago was built on the perimeter of the now abandoned castle. The square, massive shape, without arches, without columns and without vaults suggests that its room had been the hall of the Obizzo manor. The bell tower was built at the expense of the population in 1765, using a tower from the old castle. Other restoration works were carried out in 1925 due to damage from an earthquake. Four ancient rooms have recently been recovered which currently house the "In the footsteps of Obizzo da Montegarullo" and "The Mummies of Roccapelago" museums.

Montecuccolo Castle is a wonderful and majestic well-preserved castle that is worth visiting. Its history begins at the time of Matilda of Canossa, when a family of her vassals obtained the investiture of the fiefdom in 1116 from Emperor Henry V and built a tower and a first palace on this hill at the beginning of the 12th century. After a long struggle with other local feudal lords, the Montecuccoli, who emerged victorious, expanded the fortress which took on its current appearance between the 15th and 17th centuries, with the addition of the new palace, the square tower and the podesteria. The castle offers a beautiful view of the sunset from its terrace located in the rear entrance, where the restaurant is also located. A curious fact about the castle is that it houses the highest balsamic vinegar cell in the world, at an altitude of 873 metres.

The Towers of Popiglio are in a beautiful area in the heart of the Val di Lima which is absolutely worth a visit. To reach the towers, take a short, very suggestive path, with the ridge of the Open Book always in view, which leads to the first tower. The second tower is slightly more challenging as the path descends. These structures, located above the village, were an important defensive point of the Pistoia mountains until the fifteenth century, located on the border with the Lucchese state, therefore of great strategic importance both for Pistoia and subsequently for Florence.

The Rocca di Montese is a historic fortress located on top of a hill in the municipality of Montese, in the province of Modena. Built in the 13th century, it has undergone several transformations over the centuries and has been the scene of important historical events. The panoramic view over the Panaro river valley makes it a popular tourist attraction.
