The fortified centre that surrounds the higher part 0f the fraction might go back to the XI century, in conjunction with the remains of the Saracen even though some believe they are pre-Roman and Roman findings positioned upstream of the populated area in the immediate nearness of the recently opened climbing cliffs. The internal alleys, crossed by winding narrow streets formed by stone staircases, are overtopped by a series of arcs in a row until the end where the community well is situated, the church and the doorway towards the other fractions of Nicciano and Loreno. The street in the middle of the forest conducts directly towards the territory of Spoleto, to the stronghold of the barons Ancaiani and the namesake village, the nearby Ancaiano. The great tower, once rather strong and imposing, inserted into the degrading walls of towards the valley. was developed as a check point as well as for the ditch as for the path of the valley, more beneath it is possible to see a tower from the XV century built on the rocks. The following buildings that one encounters at the entrance of the village were developed after the half of the XIV century and follow the flow of the internal road. On the left of the houses, after an arc, we can see the ancient community oven, derived from the remains of the square bastion embellished by two half-moon windows. The surrounded wall finishes with a door, once square of shape, placed to the extreme end of a pass. The village is crossed by one main road only that connects to short deviations and alleys that run to the furthest houses. Two doors confine the true and real fortress. The Saint Francis Way passes through Gabbio from the part of La Verna (Abruzzo) all the way until Poggio Bustone (Rieti) through Tuscany, Umbria and basic, an important curiosity for the comeback of the paths and the tourist- religious itineraries of Valnerina.
