Amandola is a small medieval town located on the eastern side of the Sibillini Mountains National Park and on the orographic left of the Tenna River and reaches 550 m s.l.m. The village owes its name to the almond tree that once had to excel in the area.

It is one of the most important historical and cultural centers of the Sibillini Mountains. It is also characterized by an environmental and landscape heritage of great value for the multiplicity of the landscapes present: the rugged and wild mountains, the valleys drawn by rivers and small villages well embedded are the elements that make it extraordinary.

The old town, which is accessed through a crenellated door, is set on three hills and consists of civil and religious architecture, imposing and sumptuous palaces, hidden and pretty alleys. From the Belvedere you can have a wonderful view of the eastern side of the park. Rightly considered the "east gate" to the Monti Sibillini National Park, with the Anthropogeographical Museum, offers the opportunity to know all the aspects that make up the environment, then having the opportunity to find them and observe them in the territory.

Of particular importance is Piazza Umberto I, or piazza alta, the ancient social and religious nucleus of the town, which houses the historical theatre "La Fenice" and the tower of the Podestà, of the fifteenth century. The church of S. Agostino, dating from the fourteenth century, has an eighteenth-century facade, a Gothic portal, a bell tower by Mario Pietro Lombardo dating back to 1468, with ogival mullioned windows and octagonal cusp.

Among the sacred buildings there are also the convent of San Bernardino, or convent of the Capuchins, built in 1540 and the church of Santa Maria a Piè d'Agello.
Outside the door is the Romanesque complex dedicated to Ss. Rufino and Vitale (founded in sec. VI) and 5 km from the historic center stands the abbey of Saints Vincent and Anastasius.
From a gastronomic point of view, Amandola is renowned for the fine white truffle that comes from its woods and is also the production area of the Pink Apple of the Sibillini Mountains, a Slow Food presidium.
