At 420 meters of heights, on the slopes of Mount Pentime, third peak of the Taburno massif, the castle of Torrecuso rises superbly, towering over the town that bears reference to its elevated position even in its name.

The location was definitely favorable given its proximity to Regio Tratturo and Via Francigena. And it represented a strong incentive for the growth of the small town of Casalduni on the slope of Mount Cicco, on the right side of the Tammaro River.
