HISTORY

Collepino, whose name means Castle of Wolves, is a fortified village dating back to the Middle Ages. Entirely built using pink and white rock, it is situated 600 metres up Mount Subasio. Carefully restored by its residents, it features ancient walls and four of its seven original towers.

Located in the nature park of Mount Subasio, it offers a nice view of the Umbrian valley and is a good starting point for walks and hikes. By following path #352 (marked in red and white) you can climb to the top, passing through San Silvestro Abbey. Another option is to take the Roman Acqueduct path down to Spello.
