Fabro is situated on a hill overlooking the highway A1 Rome - Florence. The village is characterized by an ancient castle which is cited in the diplomatic code of the City of Orvieto of 1259 under the name of Castrum Fabri.
The castle is in fact the representative element of the country although it has undergone over the centuries, numerous deep architectural laterites.
