Tradition has it that at the summit of Mount Castellano, on the back of the old country church where there Vallebona Vallebona there was a country.
In the highest part of the mountain itself into a dominant and striking of the village opposite Pratarella, there is a sort of large square flat enough. Looking good
The terrain was led to believe that this plateau is not exactly natural, but also made by man. For many residents of
Orvinio, agree in the statement, I heard that there are also some ruins in several places and best preserved ancient town which remains residual.
This fact confirms the tradition of the existence of that country and is likely to be called by the name "Monte Castellano" or simply "Castellano."
From an inspection performed by me there I have not found any trace of remains more or less conspicuous.
Maybe some remains of walls still surviving there will be no doubt as I am assured, but it certainly will be left will be buried or hidden by wild vegetation.
from all the place can be considered to be of modest proportions, much smaller and perhaps even Vallebona Castle Sinibaldi.
Its origin and its destruction is lost in the mists of time.
