Just down the road leading to Pianiano and
under the town, this country church dates back to
1300.

This is the most important monument
in town, sitting in a valley immediately under the
old town centre (on the road to Pianiano). Commissioned
by Cardinal Alessandro Farnese from Antonio da Sangallo
il Giovane, it offers a perfect example of renaissance
architecture. Built in 1512-20, it has a Greek cross
plan supporting the large dome and many well preserved
frescoes inside. |
4 km south of town (well signposted), this is a
mediaeval hamlet with a circular plan built on an outcrop
of rock. An autonomous commune until 1729, there's an
old castle and the Chiesa di San Sigismondo. In the 1800s
it was used as a bolthole for the infamous bandit Tiburzi.
In September, the locals organise a mediaeval dinner as
part of the "Cellere: Tra Natura e Tradizione"
event.
