This ancient ruined building stands on the left bank of Lake Corlo. It is difficult to imagine what it was used for, but it is a fascinating spot along the artificial lake, which owes its name to the village of Corlo, which is still located near the dam.

Contrada Le Coste, abandoned in the middle of the woods, completely ruined and engulfed by vegetation: this slope was once inhabited and cultivated with great care and effort. The construction of the artificial lake was likely the final blow, isolating it and making it uninhabitable, forcing its inhabitants to emigrate.

A desolate and fascinating place, evocative and melancholic, that now seems so inaccessible; but that was once teeming with life. The pragmatic craftsmanship with which these multi-story houses, with stone walls and wooden balconies, were built is admirable.
