The area around San Rufo is very interesting from the archaeological point of view. Unfortunately it has been saved little of the artistic patrimony of the city, but there are still some remains of the ancient castle and the town center contains some interesting buildings from the 17th and 18th century.
Like other small towns in this area, the territory of San Rufo sees the prevalence of arboreal vegetation.
