The Hermitage is located not far from the town, inside a suggestive valley, the church of 1322 in Romanesque style was initially dedicated to St. Michael the Archangel only later was it dedicated to the SS. Crucifix.
It was founded by Meruzio di Monalduccio dei Nobili di Somaregia, in the past it contained many frescoes that were already in a state of ruin in the sixteenth century, as evidenced by the documentation of the time
It was part of the Rocca dei Tangani (Campattone was its village), built on the spur overlooking the church, 922 meters high, a refuge for feudal lords in perennial conflict with neighboring municipalities. Abandoned it fell into ruin; the ruins are covered with woods.
To date it has been rebuilt, with a single nave and bare walls, it is officiated and used by the inhabitants of the area.
