municipality
The built-up area of Montecastrilli, with the distinctive bell tower of the Church of San Nicolò, rises with its elegance above a hill overlooking valleys full of tilled fields, rows of vineyards and green olive groves.
It has a strong agricultural vocation, even stronger are the scenic beauties that can be enjoyed by traveling within an immense territory that holds small and incredible places, once castles, such as: Casteltodino, Farnetta, Collesecco, Castel dell’Aquila, and Quadrelli.
origins
Who knows if it was Hannibal’s castra passing through Trasimeno, as told by an ancient tradition, that gave Montecastrilli its name, certainly it was Octavian – future Augustus – who entrusted his veterans with the lands around Todi.
