Things to see near Casale Tozzetti

Valcaldara is home to the church of Santa Maria, important to the local community. It was damaged by the 2016 earthquake and restoration work is planned to reopen it for worship, so it should not be considered open to visitors. The village is linked to Blessed Lucia da Valcaldara, a Poor Clare nun. Nearby are the ruins of the Madonna della Quercia, where an important fair was once held.

In the wider area are Monte Vettore, 2,476 m high, and the Piani di Castelluccio (the Castelluccio plains), at about 1,350 m, whose grasslands bloom in late spring.
