Description

The castle has two storeys perfectly harmonised by the two towers.
The main building is joined to the out-building extending on the western side by means of the square tower, which culminates with covered crenellation, while the circular tower, with a Guelfic crenellation, seems to complete the entire complex. Also notable is the small tower situated on the eastern corner of the main building. The face is made of stone with an irregular texture. Inside are frescoes by the painters Augusto Mussini and Cirillo Manicardi.
