What to see near Hortus in Caelum

The main village is the first reference point for visits. Despite the many earthquakes that have damaged its buildings, Sellano keeps the forms of a medieval hilltop castle almost intact. A main street runs along the crest of the hill, with smaller lanes branching off on either side. The historic center was surrounded by a double ring of defensive walls.

The municipal territory includes many hamlets, among them Fonni, with the remains of Rocca Brigida, and Pupaggi, with the Chiesa di San Sebastiano. Among its natural features, the Menotre river rises in the Sellano area. Before setting off, it is worth checking whether individual sites are accessible, because the earthquake left damage in several buildings in the area.
