Borgo di Montefusco
Starting from San Bartolomeo door, the village runs along the scenic ridge beyond which you will reach the current square. Montefusco is the oldest medieval settlement surrounded by defensive walls and focuses on a set of precious architectural volumes built over time, during various historical events. On the main street there are various buildings and valuable palaces, many of them made of stone, enhanced by decorative and architectural characteristics since the fifteenth-sixteenth centuries until the eighteenth century. The square becomes a sort of backstage for the bell tower, that seems to have been previously a tower because of the presence of embrasures. Then there is the San Giovanni del Vaglio church and the beautiful Ruggero palace with its arched loggia. The old center of Montefusco is a maze of narrow stone streets and squares, alleys, stairways, churches, and other noble mansions with stone portals of seventeenth century. The Customs Court, or feudal court, is in good conditions, and one of its characteristics is the column embedded in the outer wall.
