Notes:
History and description of the site:
CASTRUM DOMINI. It consists of the remains of fortifications dating back, it is believed, to the 10th century, of which two large enclosures, a well and a square tower remain. It had the task of protecting the population from a possible enemy attack. The perimeter walls are one meter thick and have an irregular wall texture; some parts show traces of Roman bricks, others in a herringbone pattern, while most are made up of large river pebbles mixed with stone.
ARDUINICO CASTLE. The building, with a regular plan, is the result of the union of two distinct buildings and dates back to the 16th century.
More archaic architectural remains testify to the existence of a pre-existing building: a column with a fourteenth-century capital, residue of a portico, and an octagonal column with a base and capital from the same period. Other original elements are the two mullioned windows and the overhanging battlements.
