The San Michele site is accessible but haunted. The Pozze del Diavolo is accessible if you want to wade through flowing water. Very disappointing!!

The Osteria del Tancia was built towards the end of the Middle Ages, around the 15th century. It arose in a strategic position, on the pass of Mount Tancia, the highest peak of the Sabine Mountains, at about 800 meters above sea level. For centuries, the Osteria del Tancia represented the most important stop along the Via del Tancia, which was the main connection between the Rieti basin and the Sabina Tiberina. This road was frequently traveled by merchants, shepherds who practiced transhumance, pilgrims and bandits.

The heart of the village is its historic centre, characterized by narrow and winding streets, stone houses and ancient churches. It is an ideal place to take a pleasant walk and immerse yourself in the historic atmosphere of the town.
