The Church of St. Bartholomew (San Bartolomeo), with its rectory and ancient bell tower, was built where an ancient castle once stood. Morano, developed around the parish Church of St. Peter (San Pietro) and its medieval bell tower, is on the opposite side of the valley. \n\nMontebaranzone \nMontebaranzone was one of the Countess Matilde di Canossa\u2019s favorite residences and was once among the most important fortifications in this hilly area. A few sections of the medieval castle wall remain, as do the village\u2019s beautiful tower-house combinations and other dwellings, decorated with striking portals and carved reliefs and connected to one another through arched passageways.
