In a strategic position along the route between Umbria and Rieti on the left bank of the Nera River, Arrone is formed by two sections. The older of the two, called “La Terra”, is located in corrispondence with the 11th century feudal castle of the Arroni.
Visitors can see the bell tower, the Torre “degli Olivi”, the 14th century San Giovanni Battista church, the 16th century Santa Maria Assunta college, and the former Convento di San Francesco, one of the first Franciscan settlements from the middle of the 13th century and now the headquarters of the Parco Fluviale del Nera.
