Carpineti

The castle

Iatica
Carpineti, a small village at the feet of the dorsal of the Valestra peak, has its centre in the palace of the Amorotti. From the fascinating mountain dominating the village, You can clearly perceive the ruins of the castle of Carpineti, a matildic important fortress. The ridge running from the castle to the peak of Valestra can lead you to the byzantine parish of S. Vitale for a charming walk between history and culture.
Thanks to his flourishing and changing territory, to its charming festivals and markets, to its ancient residential agglomerates and to its characteristic tower houses, thanks to its naturalistic beauties, its facilities and to its gastronomic traditions, the region of Carpineti is very well appreciated by tourists. We suggest a walk to Marola, oasis for tourism, famous for its chestnut festival in October but, above all, for its restaured matildic parish, a spiritual centre for all the region. Some very interesting walk can lead you to some unknown monuments, like the castle of Mandra. This land has been crossed by some cultural itineraries like the Way of Matilde and the Spallanzani walk.
