The castle dates back to the 12th century but was certainly built on a pre-existing Roman garrison dating back to 146 BC. It dominates the village with its walls of which the first, crenellated and well preserved, winds for over 200 meters with various stretches of crenellated curtains with slits and 14 towers. After the fall of the Roman Empire, Terravecchia was forgotten until 1240 when Frederick II of Swabia king of Sicily made it his residence for a period probably equal to one year, but only after having ordered a substantial restoration. after which the castle assumed the double function, just as the Swabian ruler had wanted, of castrum but also of domus or residence and ideal dwelling especially for hunting. The Castle and the walls are currently the subject of a major recovery and renovation work and it is from the walls that you can enjoy a magnificent view of both the surrounding valley and the mountains but also, in the most clear, of the sea.
