Just 7 km away, on a hillock covered with gorse, is Denzano. In ancient times it was the seat of a castle of which, unfortunately, only a square tower remains which dates back to the year 1000. The tower is about 15 meters high and is built with mixed material from local resources, rich in clay deposits. The territory, in fact, can reserve surprises for mineralogy enthusiasts: on the two sides of the hill there are also gypsum crystals with an almost perfect conformation.
