Situated about 15 kilometers away from the sea, in the Middle Ages Carassai was called “Castrum Guardiae”, but people used to call it “Carrascale” or “Carnassale”.

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.

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.
