Cycling

Sant'Apollinare belongs to the municipality of Marsciano and is a beautiful panoramic point over the Fersenone Valley. Designed as a military building, the castle, along with many others in Umbria, was part of a circle of castles built to defend the city of Perugia from the south side on the Byzantine walls. The origins of the Castle of San Apollinare probably date back to the 10th century.

Located near the village of Spina, the Rocca di Sant'Apollinare is a place rich in history and timeless images. Once a defensive fortress, it became a place of worship and production, and today it is immersed in a centuries-old olive grove. Getting there requires a bit of effort, but the reward is guaranteed.
