The best cycling routes around Torre San Patrizio

Historic fountain, located in a panoramic spot overlooking the Magliano di Tenna hill. It is always nice to stop and fill your water bottle here.

Suggestive abandoned village. Entering the square by bike is always an emotion.

A place of peace and silence, immersed in nature, which is always worth visiting during a bike ride.

Monte San Pietrangeli is a medieval village founded around the year 1080 by a group of Benedictine monks from Ferentillo (Valnerina)

To be honest I didn't particularly like it, it will probably also be due to the fact that, having visited many medieval villages in the area, the comparison automatically comes into play... It is not known precisely to which year, before the birth of Christ, the origins of the Turris Patritia date back, but archaeological finds, pertaining to the grave goods of some Picene tombs from the 7th–6th century. BC, found in March 1934 in the San Patrizio area, confirm the thesis of its antiquity.

I honestly expected more. The town develops around the old original medieval nucleus; of its history we know for sure that the first nucleus was founded in 1080 by Benedictine monks from Ferentillo (Terni) who dedicated it to St. Peter.

It is a hilly municipality of very ancient origins, located in the sub-Apennines of the Marche region, in the lower valley of the Tenna river. The toponym derives from the god Janus, to whom a temple was dedicated on the top of the town's hill, where Roman and pre-Roman finds were found. During the Middle Ages it was a castle that depended on Fermo. The historic centre, with its elliptical shape, has the characteristics of a medieval castle, of which the remains of the fortified walls, three towers and Porta Marina are still visible, once the only access to the castle, dating back to the fourteenth century but which was rebuilt in the form current in 1707

Also known as the "City of the Mediterranean diet", located on a hill at 411 m. above sea level, in an area of ancient Piceno and Roman settlement, as demonstrated by numerous and significant archaeological finds. The urban structure of Montegiorgio dates back to the Middle Ages, when the Benedictine monks settled there in the 9th century, welcoming the first inhabitants of Montegiorgio around the Church of Santa Maria Grande (the current San Francesco with Farfense Chapel) and the Convent. The center of Montegiorgio is positioned on a hilly relief. The city walls encompass the entire historic center which maintains some of the characteristic medieval streets; you can admire the remains of castle walls, with an access portal still equipped with a wooden door, and some narrow alleys on a human scale. There is currently a lot of post-earthquake consolidation work underway.
