Amandola is a much larger city than Monte San Martino, and is located in the foothills of the Apennines about 30 miles or so west-southwest of our villa. It originally was a hilltop town, but has grown and spread down to the valley. It seems to be a tourist destination both during summer for people touring the Parco Nazionale dei Monti Sibillini, and in the winter for winter sports.
The top picture is of the city gate and city square. Next is the view from the city looking west into the mountains. Third is an intersection in the oldest part of town. Next picture is looking up the steps to the city square. I'm standing in front of the doors to the church.
Bottom picture is at lunch at the Paradiso Hotel restaurant.
