It is a medieval burg (13th century) developed inside a fortress, which was almost entirely destroyed by an earthquake in 1328.
Preci borders the following municipalities: Castelsantangelo sul Nera, Cerreto di Spoleto, Norcia, Visso.
In recent decades Preci suffered extensive damage from earthquakes. In 1997 it was hit by the Umbria and Marche earthquakes.[4] The old center of Preci was later ravaged by the October 2016 Central Italy Earthquakes.[5]
As at July 2018, the old center of Preci is entirely closed off to visitors pending reconstruction work.
