What to see:
- Triponzo, at the confluence of the Corno and the Nera Rivers, whose name comes from Tripontium, meaning "three bridges", presumably one over each branch of the rivers, famous for a Roman inscription, carved in the live rock on the outer face of the modern SS 209 road tunnel a few hundred meters West of the town, which records the building of the Roman road from Spoletium to Nursia by order of the Roman Senate.
- At Triponzo, the medieval church of Santa Caterina
- The Triponzo sulphureous springs which is considered to have therapeutic properties.
- Ponte di Cerreto, a frazione of the comune, of about 200 inhabitants, lying about 1.5 km south of Cerreto, is the first place on the river Nera to be crossed by a bridge. It was once an important defensive outpost belonging to the counts of Celano who built a fortress here, which, however, has not survived.
- The 12th-century Romanesque abbey of Santa Maria at Ponte di Cerreto, with a fine rose window in the facade, and in the interior the architect's sketch of that window, engraved on one of the walls of the nave; a very rare fresco representing the Trinity as a three-headed man.
