Things to see
Fortress of Vernio
The building complex can be reached on a paved road that branches off from the state road coming from San Quirico, before entering the town of Sasseta. This road leads to the northern part of the castle, which had a door that was demolished in the postwar period, and of which there remain only the traces of the frame.
Abbey of S. Maria in Montepiano
The complex includes church and monastery and its origins date back to the eleventh century when it was in the hands of the Vallumbrosan monks. The current buildings are from the twelfth century.
Casone and Oratory of San Niccolo'
The Casone, originally residence of the Bardi's, liege lords, is now a municipal building.
