In the hamlet of Castello, just a few minutes' walk above the village of Tremona, archaeologists and volunteers have revealed the remains of a mountain settlement and thousands of finds from the Neolithic and Medieval periods. These allow you to better understand the past of the whole region and especially the everyday life in a medieval village. However, researchers are still far from solving the mystery surrounding the village and the seemingly sudden disappearance of its inhabitants.

Really interesting ruins, paths not very flowing but short, a detour worth it. They are the remains of a settlement dating back to the Neolithic and Middle Ages.
