Its territory is essentially extending over mountains, on the Apennines side, being Monte Sillara (1891mt) the highest peak. The village sits on top of a rocky promontory, surrounded by oaks, chestnuts and pine forests.

Bagnone gained its importance thanks to its strategic importance, at the crossing of several roads merging to the valley from mountain passes

The village is characterized by portals, vaulted passages, sandstone windows and steps, deep galleries.

The name derives from the fact that the village housed many taverns, being located along the Via del Sale; the Church of San Rocco, dating back to 1500, was originally built as an oratory, then it was declared a parish.

Tavernelle is located along a single road overlooked by buildings mostly from the 15th century. Among them stands a tower house built in 1516, which bears the engravings of the builder and the date.
