Flyup: Arrone
The original settlement of Arrone dates back to the 2nd. Century B.C. but its current structure derives from the medieval settlement of the 9th. century A.D, when a Roman nobleman called Arrone built a fortified castle on the top of the cliff.
The village developed inside the castle walls which took the name of TERRA, but then also expanded along its slopes and the centre took the name of Saint Mary due to the presence of the Church of Saint Mary of the Assumption around which it revolved. The upper part retains it ancient medieval layout featuring narrow streets and a system of various shaped towers. The highest is the Lombard Tower, on a square base, which served as a lookout and represented the last defensive bulwark. It is surmounted by a centuries-old wild olive tree that makes it unique. At the end of the central road coming down from the tower lies the beautiful Gothic Church of St. John the Baptist, which houses valuable frescoes.
