Overview

About La Roccaccia

La Roccaccia is a medieval watchtower built in 1080 AD on a rocky spur overlooking a valley in the Monti Sibillini National Park — one of Italy's most dramatic and unspoiled landscapes. The tower was originally constructed to defend the Marca Fermana, and today it stands as a wedding venue of extraordinary character: a private amphitheatre carved into the hillside for ceremonies, views stretching to Mount Sibilla and the Infernaccio Gorge, a swimming pool and heated outdoor Jacuzzi set among gardens enriched with Land Art installations, and the medieval village of Montefortino as a backdrop. This is a venue for couples who want wild beauty and ancient history rather than manicured formality.
