This ancient medieval village, a part of the Municipality of Spoleto, has deep historical roots, once belonging to the Terre Arnolfe and later under the control of the marquises of Cesi. The castle, built in the 13th century, still features a striking tower known as the Piccionaia, a typical architectural element found in Umbrian palaces.
Just a short distance away stands the enchanting Church of Sant’Apollinare, dating back to the 12th century. It was constructed with a single nave and has a distinctive bell tower. Inside, it houses an 18th-century fresco and a small, very ancient tabernacle. In the churchyard, the remains of columns and Roman stones indicate that the medieval settlement was built upon an older pagan structure, likely a temple dedicated to Mars.
From the original city walls, a solitary tower remains, which was also used as an ossuary until the 19th century, while the ancient gates and passages of the castle are still traversable today. The underground areas feature tunnels and secret passages, remnants of a rich historical past, although they are not open to the public.
Nestled in the serene Umbrian hills, the village is only a ten-minute drive from Spoleto, providing a perfect balance between medieval tranquility and the vibrant cultural life of the city.
