The village was founded in 1000 d.C., on the ruins of a Basilian convent. The museum in the church of Santa Croce preserves many remnants of Mottafollone’s past (chains, swords, a cinerary urn, an ancient wooden statue and much more). Little to nothing is known of the medieval castle. Religious sites to visit are: St. John the Baptist’s Church, the Cappella del Carmine, the Mother Church of Santa Maria della Motta, Santa Maria Assunta’s Church in Capo d'Acqua, St. Anthony’s Abbey. When it comes to landscape, impossible to miss is Pietra Portusata, a large cavity on Montea’s slopes.
