1. Walk along the La Scarpa patrol walkway and enjoy the view from the panoramic towers

The perfect starting point for an unforgettable visit to Morro d’Alba is the La Scarpa patrol walkway.

This 300-meter-long, almost entirely covered path offers breathtaking views of the landscape, from the Sibillini Mountains to Conero, and over the hills surrounding the village. During local events and festivals, markets are often held along the walkway. It is a picturesque and unique urban route in Europe, with entrances to the buildings above opening onto it.

Its name comes from the slope of the outer walls, or “scarpa.” Walking along La Scarpa, visitors can admire the ancient architecture and the towers, which hold great historical significance, having been used to defend the village during the Middle Ages.

The walkway is defined on one side by a series of large windows and two panoramic towers:

  • Teodorico Panoramic Tower, facing east. This tower hosts civil wedding ceremonies and cultural events such as the Lacrima in Giallo Festival and various concerts.
  • Frederick I Panoramic Tower, facing west. This tower is particularly evocative to visit at sunset!
