This picturesque fortress, with its own watch tower, is quoted in a land register of 1292 but in fact the place has been inhabited since Etruscan times and became, in the Middle Ages, a fortified castle in the hands of the Ghibelline family.
On the outside of the church is a panel from1586 representing St. Michael the Archangel. The nearby church Our Lady of the Snow contains a beautiful fresco from the end of the 1500s. Each year in the first week of August the Medieval Festival takes place, with concerts, parades, crafts, theatre and competitions. At Christmas you can enjoy a 'living nativity'.
