It is an ancient castle, now in ruins, which stands on a rocky terrace overlooking the Dora Baltea. The marble summit on which the ruins of the castle stand was already occupied in prehistoric times (the discovery of a protohistoric anthropomorphic stele would confirm this), and was subsequently occupied in the Salassic and then Roman times by a fortification guarding the valley. The castle, which had no residential purpose but was exploited by the feudal lord only in case of danger, was composed of a dungeon surrounded by other architectural bodies and protected by a triple wall. As regards the construction of the thirteenth century, they are located at the inside the wall, in the highest position of the site, the tower, the remains of a building and a cistern. A chapel completed the site.

Nice visit, you can see the whole panorama. Ruins of medieval castle, with tower and remains of walls, and small chapel. Access is free, pay attention to the somewhat steep path, not recommended for very small children.

Remains of a Castle on the summit. It can be reached after a 20-minute walk on a dirt path. Great the landscape but I imagined that it was better preserved, of course being 1275 ... that's fine as well
