Outside the town centre, there is a nice stretch of mixed dirt and light asphalt which, with not too demanding descents and climbs, makes you lose yourself on the Molise hills, worth trying.

Monuments and places of interest Norman castle: it is located in the highest part of the old town, and dates back to the 11th century. In 1463 the fiefdom refused to submit to the Vasto authority of Antonio Caldora and was set on fire. Destroyed several times by Saracen and Turkish incursions, in the 16th century, following the last Ottoman attack, the castle was restored as a Renaissance palace, equipped with some neo-Gothic embellishments in the 19th century. The rectangular structure has the shape of a noble palace, whose medieval features are found in the top adorned with corbels and in the access portal, with lateral hinges, since it was in the past connected to a drawbridge. Church of Santa Maria di Petacciato: built in Apulian Romanesque style in the 13th century with the restoration of Frederick II, the church was dedicated to San Rocco until 1967, and has a single nave. Subsequently another one was added, together with the three analyses[unclear]. The bell tower is a sturdy tower that stands out above the town. The very small and intimate façade is a Renaissance reworking of the right side of the church, squeezed between the bell tower and the civilian homes. Torre di Petacciato: coastal tower of the defensive system against the Turks, commissioned by Charles V in the 16th century. The tower today is a ruin, split in two, in need of restoration. Church of San Rocco: built in 1967, inaugurated by Msgr. Giovanni Proni, is located in the modern part of the town, along Viale Pietravalle.
