Sarnano

Sarnano's red-brick old town climbs a hill between two torrents, the Tennacola and the Terro, with the steep walls of the Sibillini mountains rising to the west. Its rings of walls trace its growth from a 13th-century castrum at the top, where Piazza Alta still holds the Romanesque church and the old town hall. Sulphur springs feed a spa, and there are ski slopes at Sassotetto.
