Attractions and Places To See around San Severino Marche - Top 20

The tiny, medieval village of Castelletta (a district of Fabriano) is a real hidden gem in the Marche region. It sits like an eagle's nest on a rocky outcrop in the middle of the wild and romantic Gola della Rossa e Frasassi Nature Park. Although the village is tiny, it offers a fascinating mix of history, spectacular views, and exciting outdoor activities: Historic village center & architecture - a small map hangs directly opposite the small Bar Elisa, where you can also stock up on the essentials, Castelletta impresses with its narrow, quaint stone alleys (called Rue) and rows of houses built from local limestone. A walk feels like a little journey back in time; Il Rivellino (the defense tower) is a well-preserved, circular watchtower from the late Middle Ages. It once belonged to the defense system of the Counts of Rovellone. The old city gate: The square southeast gate with its round arch still shows historical defensive features such as loopholes today. and of course: the outdoor & nature highlights! Monte Revellone (841 m) is the local mountain and towers over the village, visible from afar (a small picture at Bar Elisa testifies to this). From the village center, a hiking trail leads up to the summit cross, which offers spectacular panoramic views over the valley and the Apennine chain. The Falesia di Castelletta is a real climbing paradise with steep limestone walls right by the village and is one of the most famous climbing crags (falesia) in the region, attracting sport climbers from all over Italy... Worth discovering...

There is a very large car park, and a cycle/pedestrian path starts here.

A place of fortifications, nature and legends, the area of the Monte Acuto fortress, commonly known as the Roccaccia, because of a nobleman who tyrannized over the local population, is located on a rock formation between two valleys, at 740 meters above sea level. Of this ancient fortress today only a few remains of a tower and sections of masonry remain standing, erected in these places considered safe during the war between the Byzantines and the Lombards. Numerous legends are still told of mysterious weavers, of hens that laid golden eggs, of snakes guarding hidden treasures, tales of battles along the Potenza river valley below, but also stories of sanctity, such as that of the young Santa Sperandia who lived in solitude in a cave right on these mountains. A wild kingdom due to its isolation, for this reason so loved by hermits, but particularly beautiful and full of views that today represents the border between the municipalities of San Severino Marche, Treia and Cingoli.

Very nice village. Meeting point for many cyclists, hikers, climbers and motorcyclists. The square with the pine tree where the inhabitants meet after lunch or dinner for a chat, perhaps accompanied by a glass. At the bar you can find food to calm the hunger after sports and an excellent coffee. Narrow and picturesque alleys. More populated in summer but also in winter there is life. I love this place.

The term “ Rancia ” is probably a corruption of the word grancia , or granary , from the French grange, borrowed from the Latin granica. Built as a fortified farm in the mid-11th century, in the Rancia district, on the plain located to the left of the Chienti river, the Castello della Rancia was initially a sort of tower house with autonomous structures for the defense of agricultural products. Important dates to remember are May 2 and 3, 1815, days of the furious battle called “ della Rancia ” or “ Tolentino ” when the entire area became a battlefield between the French army of Gioacchino Murat, king of Naples and brother-in-law of Napoleon, and the Austrian troops of General Federico Bianchi. The importance of this event in the history of Italy is said to be considered the beginning of the Italian Risorgimento. It is currently owned by the Municipality of Tolentino and houses the Civic Archaeological Museum “Aristide Gentiloni Silverj”.
