Location information: A legend tells that a dove, while flying, spotted a source of water in a stretch of the path that led from Rocca San Zenone to Spoleto, and quenched its thirst. The place was called Acquapalombo, a name that also took on the settlement that formed near it. That spring has been used since the Middle Ages, a period to which the origin of Acquapalombo dates back, which coincides with the construction of the watchtower overlooking the town. Located at over 500 meters high, the tower was one of the two strongholds of the defensive system of Valserra, the other was represented by the Rocca di Battiferro on the opposite side.

The name of this castle is documented for the first time in 1332 through the register of taxes that the centers of the Terre Arnolfe paid to the Apostolic Camera, among which there is the "focatico" - in that year in Acquapalombo there were 61 hearths. In the following centuries, the castle was mainly under the jurisdiction of Spoleto and the object of Terni's expansionist aims. Probably at the end of the sixteenth century, Acquapalombo together with Appecano and Lavarino were annexed to the Municipality of Terni, since the General Council of Terni relieved these castles of taxes.

During the sixteenth century, the Sala family gave a new appearance to the village and moved there from Spoleto. The two most important buildings commissioned by the Spoleto family were the noble palace and the church of San Francesco, which was built, together with the adjoining hermitage, near the Serra stream and therefore outside the town. In this period the Romanesque church of San Lorenzo was also modified and enlarged, later frescoed. This phase of development, which led to a considerable increase in the population, with a consequent expansion of the town, ended when at the end of the 1600s the Sala family left the place, selling their properties to the Brancaleoni family. This passage marks the beginning of a lasting decadence, symbolized by the gradual deterioration that the noble palace underwent with the new lords, which was completely destroyed over time. However, the polychrome arch that framed the portal of the noble building remains on the square of the church of San Lorenzo.

Acquapalombo is part, together with the other villages of Valserra, of a context of extraordinary environmental and landscape value, whose beauty can be discovered and appreciated by walking or mountain biking along the paths that wind through the entire area, in total contact with nature.
