    Ruins of an ancient pentagonal tower from the 5th-6th centuries: the Turris Nigra (Black Tower) was the pinnacle of a fortification built on the slopes of Mercatone Hill to control and defend the strategic passage of Serravalle and the Lapisina Valley.

    Tradition attributes the foundation of the castle and tower to a Gothic tyrant, King Manducco or Matrucco. Manducco's daughter was the future Saint Augusta, martyred by her father when he discovered her conversion to Christianity, whom he persecuted.
