Leading into the valley the Apsa torrent is cut through by furrows, there is
a steep overhanging rock, it seems to be suspended, and there is just visible
the roman church of Saint Arduino (XI cent.); further on are the paired off
houses of Mercato Vecchio, seat of the Council of Pietrarubbia from which the
hamlet is spread out along the sides of the valley. From here a road of about
2km takes you to the ancient Petra Rubra. In the shadows of rocky keeps of a
spectral aspect there materialises a town at one time abandoned but today
restored from which rises a slender ancient mast of a castle which has nearly
disappeared.
To be admired, between the other sculptures, is the Egyptian Carro with the
Obelisk of Peace, which by this time has become the symbol of the castle, and of
the town church of Saint Silvester, this is also of recent restoration, with its
rose window and marble altar. Above all at sunset, when the last rays of the sun
set on fire the Petra Rubra, it seems to revive the ancient story of this
pinnacle transformed into an unconquerable rock. In the V century this strange
mountain was given to the lords of Carpegna from the barbarous Ottone and
fortified for the defense of the sparse population of the area. Therefore the
ruins make up the oldest hold of the Montefeltro who gave birth to the famous
"condottiero" Guido da Montefeltro recorded by Dante in the XXVII song of
Hell.
