| The castle stands on the highest point of the town, in a strategic position to control the surrounding territory. From its top you can see the land at 360 degrees to the mountains of Sila (Calabria). There is a continuity between the houses dug into the ravine and castle, whose construction started probably in the first half of the sixteenth century by the family Roberti Domains for the defense of the Casale of Palagianello, and was finished, but not entirely, in eighteenth century under the rule of Caracciolo. The castle, which has a massive quadrangular plan with a large central courtyard with four towers at the outer corners, shows all the structural features of the defensive fortifications of the sixteenth century. |
