Things to see near Casa Vacanze "La Terrazza dei Sibillini"

The municipal territory is crossed by the Amandola Nature Trail, called «Fragili equilibri»: a loop of about 6 km for visitors, walked counterclockwise in about three hours. The route tells how the people of the Sibillini learned to use natural resources with care, among hamlets scattered over the hills and coppice woods, in a landscape shaped by farming and by forestry and grazing.

Among the historic churches in the area is San Pietro in Castagna, a small building that arose in the area called «Castania», recorded in documents from before the year 1000; it belonged to the Benedictine abbey of Sant'Angelo in Montespino. It has a round-arched Romanesque entrance with a lintel carved in bas-relief with figures of the apostles, now hard to make out because of the erosion of the tuff, and a bell gable.
