Agriturismo La Filomena: things to see nearby

The historic center of Montefortino has its houses and streets arranged in concentric semicircles, following the medieval layout. The main entrance is Porta Santa Lucia. At the top stands the church of San Francesco, built on the remains of the old church of Santa Maria del Girone. Palazzo Leopardi houses the Pinacoteca civica Fortunato Duranti, which stayed closed for a long time after the 2016 earthquake. Before going, check whether it can be visited.

A few kilometers from the center is the Sanctuary of Madonna dell'Ambro, at 658 m, in a narrow valley crossed by the Ambro stream.

For walkers, the Gole dell'Infernaccio gorge is a classic destination. The route leads to the Eremo di San Leonardo, at 1,128 m, in the locality of Rubbiano, between Monte Sibilla and Monte Priora. After the earthquake some roads and trails in the Sibillini had access restrictions, so check the situation before setting out.
