    Tossignano is an ancient village that develops on a chalky cliff around the ruins of the fortress. The name derives from the Roman toponym Thausignanum, while in more recent times a large part of Tossignano was razed to the ground by bombings during the Second World War, including the fortress. It stood in a strategic position, from which it dominated the entire valley: for this reason it is now a notable panoramic point. Today only the moat and the foundations of the drawbridge can be seen.
