The medieval village of Fumone  today  conserves its original structure surrounding the castle with a fascinating and unimaginable atmosphere. The buildings  attached  to the castle and all  the houses still have their doors that open  inwards; for such an important place could not allow weak points., built with criterio so that arrows could be  fired against the enemy. Even the steep path from the Roman door was purposely built in order to make it easy to roll down burning balls of fire when needed and for defence reasons  Fumone therefore became an impossible fortress to take.
