The Romanesque ruin of San Vittore stands on a panoramic hilltop southeast of the borgo, near the cemetery — only its 12th-century bell tower and part of the apse survive, the tower propped on a single column to keep it from collapsing. It marks the site of an early settlement that faded as villagers moved up to the safety of the castle. A quiet stop on the Via del Romanico, reached on foot or by the country road out of town.
