Located at the Eastern borders of the municipality, Ficareto Castle is currently a building made of four houses, a small Church dedicated to St. John (in ruins since the eighteenth century) and a fortified residence, the proper castle, unfortunately fell to ruin.
Similarly, to the toponyms of the nearby towns such as Castagneto, Cerqueto, Mandorleto or Olmeto, the name would come from the large number of fig trees, growing there.
According to ancient tradition, since 1322 there had been an hospital dedicated to St. Francis and in 1381 the piece of land was certified in a notarial protocol of Ser Francesco di Nicolò.
There is much news related to Prelates’ pastoral visits who used to control the area from time to time, whereas no trace of possible influences by noble families from Todi is left. It is therefore very likely that the land remained under the control of the Papal States throughout its history.
The ancient parish Church dedicated to St. John and then abandoned was replaced by the current Church of St. Rocco, in modern times.
