In Montefalcone Appennino the main landmark is the church of San Michele Arcangelo. It stands above a rocky drop, in the southern part of the village, and was built between 1821 and 1824 on a Greek-cross plan. Other churches include San Pietro in Penne, from the 14th century, and Santa Maria delle Scalelle, which stands above one of the oldest tunnels in Italy.

Palazzo Felici, an 18th-century building, houses the Museo dei Fossili e dei Minerali (fossil and mineral museum). The mineral section has over 1,200 pieces. The same palazzo also houses the Environmental Education Center and the Ecomuseum.

For walking in nature there is the Montefalcone woods, a protected floristic area with oaks, chestnuts and beeches. Before a visit, check with the operators or the municipality which places are open.
