Agriturismo Colle Verde Montefortino: things to see nearby

The main village, Montefortino, is a 12th-century fortified settlement built on a hill on the right bank of the Tenna: the houses climb in semicircular tiers and the perimeter keeps stretches of wall, a few towers and three entrance gates. The 16th-century Palazzo Leopardi houses the civic art gallery named after Fortunato Duranti and the Museo Faunistico dei Sibillini (wildlife museum).

For walkers, the Grande Anello dei Sibillini passes through the municipal territory, a route of about 124 km to be walked in nine days. The Gole dell'Infernaccio, carved by the Tenna and rich in waterfalls, lead toward the Eremo di San Leonardo; the Sanctuary of Madonna dell'Ambro, also called the «Little Lourdes of the Sibillini», is a pilgrimage destination. Above 800 m stands the parish church of Sant'Angelo in Montespino, first mentioned in a document from 977.
