What to see near B&B Case Pacifici

The Monte Rosara area, like those of Castel Trosino, Acquasanta Terme and San Marco, is a natural deposit of travertine, the stone used to build much of Ascoli: walls, towers, bridges, palazzi and churches. Between the 1950s and the 1980s quarrying became an important economic activity, and Ascoli travertine was also exported outside the region. In the city, Piazza Arringo and Piazza del Popolo in Ascoli Piceno show the use of this stone well.

The summit of Monte Rosara is also reached by a loop of the Appennino Outdoor project. It starts from Mozzano along the Tronto river and climbs through the woods to about 1,000 m, just past San Gregorio; the route crosses Fleno and skirts the Lago di Talvacchia, an artificial reservoir formed by damming the Castellano stream, straddling the border between the Marche and Abruzzo. Back in the Marche, the route meets Castel Trosino, perched on a limestone spur; a gravel road then climbs about 2 km to the top of Monte Rosara, from where the route descends back to Mozzano through woods and fields.
