Castle with harmonious lines, less imposing and strong than others. Fitting very well into the landscape, it enjoys a fantastic view of the plain below

The small castle of Castano has circular towers with large slits and parts of the walls in good condition. The whole is altered by subsequent constructions. The first investiture dates back to 1442 to the Arcelli family. Castano Castle is an ancient fortress owned by the Scotti family. Built in the thirteenth century, it appears as a set of non-homogeneous buildings, placed on a rectangular base, with cylindrical towers on the sides. Inside, it still retains period furniture and elegant frescoes. Today it is used as a location for celebrations and conferences.
