Norman Castle, located in Borgo Collianello. It dates back to the 11th century and is placed on the patch that overlooks the whole town. The bases of the two lateral bastions to the north and the perimeter walls are still visible. A large driveway leads to the bell tower of the Chapel of the Madonna del Soccorso, to the left of the driveway there is a secondary entrance, in the flowerbeds secular conifers stand out. In 1973, together with the chapel of the Madonna del Soccorso, its large courtyard was completely restored and a plaque was placed to the left of the main entrance gate bearing the following inscription: "These walls, the last remnant of the Castle which Normans erected in defense of the Collianesi, the municipal administration restores and allocates the terraces to a graceful park from which, present and future, they can always enjoy the enchanting vision of the Sele and its valley".
