FALERNA AND CASTIGLIONE MARITTIMO
The soul of the villages
Head uphill from the coast for a different perspective. Among village streets and glimpses of the landscape, another side of Falerna awaits.
Falerna, the village
Falerna’s historic centre sits on the western slopes of Monte Mancuso. Here, exploring takes on the pace of a leisurely walk: streets, squares and views reveal a different world from the seafront.
Castiglione Marittimo
The village of Castiglione Marittimo offers a glimpse into the area’s history. The remains of its castle stand at the top of the hill on which the village is built. Take time to explore the settlement and its surrounding landscape.
Traces of the ancient past
Between Falerna’s historic centre and the coast, Pian delle Vigne preserves the remains of a Roman villa. Its structures also reveal the farming activities of the ancient world. Check whether access is possible before planning a visit.
