Torre Maggiore Mount

The limestone mountain reaches an elevation of 1121 meters and contains archaeological remains of two temples on its summit.

Archaeological excavations revealed votive bronze artifacts from the 6th century BC, including representations of Mars and stylized figures of humans and animals.

The site functioned as a primary religious center for local communities, featuring a circular pit carved into rock that served ceremonial purposes.

Visitors can access both the archaeological ruins and mountain peak, which provide extensive views of Todi, Perugia, and the Martani mountain chain.

The mountain peak was artificially modified in ancient times to create a flat surface for the construction of religious structures.
