Things to see near A Casa del Contadino

Caldarola is home to Pallotta Castle, built on a hill in the second half of the 9th century. Toward the end of the 16th century Cardinal Evangelista Pallotta turned it into a summer residence. The castle is temporarily closed to the public for restoration work after the 2016 earthquake, so it is best to check before planning a visit.

The municipality also includes the castles of Croce, Vestignano and Pievefavera. A network of trails links villages, castles and churches, for walks on foot or on horseback.
