    Ruins of an ancient tower with a pentagonal base from the 5th-6th century: the Turris Nigra (Black Tower) was the culminating element of a fortification erected on the slopes of the Mercatone hill, to control and defend the strategic passage of Serravalle and Val Lapisina .



    Tradition attributes the foundation of the castle and the 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, which he persecuted.
