Un percorso che abbraccia tutto l'entroterra della provincia

The old town centre of Monteprandone maintains intact its old walls and typical alleys. San Giacomo della Marca (1393-1476) and the painter Carlo Allegretti (1555-1622) were born here.

Castignano is a small town propped up by a huge wall, with a Romanesque tower.

The historical origins of Comunanza town are very old and they are closely related to the tradition of a powerful fortress nearby: Monte Pasillo.

This is a quite hard and long path suitable for well-trained bikers.

Some historical notes make us believe that the town Montefalcone dates back to 705 AD, when the “Curtis Montis Falconis” was assigned to the Farfense monks.
