Medieval village of Preggio

In addition to the remains of the fortress, there is the church of SSTrinità in San Francesco (1223) which houses a golden silver reliquary which houses a "Holy Thorn" on Easter Tuesday and the church of the Madonna delle Grazie (1400) that it contains a delightful Renaissance style altar and a fresco attributed to Pinturicchio.
