Logo and Lupaiolo are two particularly charming places. The first one preserves its sacred origin inside its name (locus). In the middle of a clayey soil is settled a rocky hill whose microclimate is so peculiar that can host a holm-oak thicket. Moreover, this isolated place is a quite refuge to let many varieties of birds nidify. The second place has got the name of and ancient castle, now disappeared, that once controlled the flow of the Mutino river. It preserves still today its sharming landscape: Mount Carpegna, Mounts Sasso Simone and Simoncello, Alpe della Luna, Nerone, Catria and, during the most limpid days, Mounts Sibillini or the Adriatic sea.
Sassocorvaro soars on a strategic position on a rocky spur, in the summit of a hill set up in the Foglia valley; this is the reason why it is called the “sentry of Montefeltro". The Ubaldinesca Fortress settled at the center of the village is a fifteenth century building with the curious and peculiar shape of a tortoise. Its project was drawn by the architect Francesco di Giorgio Martini and is considered currently one of the best masterpieces of the Renaissance military architecture. By visiting the Ubaldinesca Fortress tourists can discover the main evolution that changed this defensive building through the years, from a fortress to a Renaissance palace.  Inside the fortress visitors can enjoy a small court theatre dated back to the nineteenth century and a photograph collection related with the project  “Arca dell’Arte”, that is an annual international prize given to regional, national and international Art savers.
Inside the small S.S. Trinità Oratory visitors can see the relic of St. Valentine’s skull, the lovers patron saint. 
Piandimeleto rises on the valley of the Foglia river and still preserves the historical centre with the ancient walls, the orthogonal streets, the so called “gates of the departed” and the beautiful Castle of the Oliva Counts. For who wants to find the Montefeltro history’s tracks, the Castle of the Oliva Counts offers many possibilities thanks to its exhibition spaces: local geological history, the vegetable heritage,  the country world, farmhouses, ceramics’ findings and detailed heraldry studies. Renaissance frescoes and Gothic tombstones of the Oliva Counts can be admired inside the Church.
Carpegna. This village was the reign of one of those Lords who made local history richer with art and culture: the Carpegna Gabrielli Falconieri family. They had noble relatives, issue and ennemies, as the Montefeltro, the Malatesta, the Piagnano family later called Oliva, the Faggiola family, etc. Dante confered everlasting fame to the Carpegna Lords inside his La Divina Commedia and the Carpegna Palace, built with a wonderful grey stone, exhibits still now the valuable importance of thios family thanks to the elegant Bernini and Borromini imperial style. From the Geoteca Museum containing many mineral, fossil and rocky items documenting the Montefeltro’s geological evolution, held in Carpegna, visitors can move to Cippo in order to walk directly till the Hermitage  of Mount Carpegna. These two places are rather different one another: Cippo is a building settled inside a pinewood and built by the prisoners of the First World War; the Hermitage is a holy place devoted to the Madonna that has preserved its religious value throughout the last eight century.
