Casa di Pietra: things to see nearby
Above 800 m stands the parish church of Sant'Angelo in Montespino, first mentioned in 977, when the bishop of Fermo, Gaidulfo, reserved it for himself. It has a semicircular pronaos on the facade, a 15th-century bell tower that also served as a lookout tower and a crypt with eight columns taken from Roman buildings, six of which have capitals from the Imperial age.
For a quieter stop there is the sport-fishing lake, fed by natural springs and stocked with trout and carp, with paths for walking and observing wildlife.
