The Castle, with a square base, surrounded by a large moat, the crenellated towers at the corners, a bulwark of defense for the Ghibellines in the fights for the dominion of Piacenza, is real, authentic; it has all the right history: bloody clashes, hanging of prisoners and conspirators, glorious episodes. A large moat surrounds the castle. It has a quadrangular plan with towers on the four corners, two cylindrical and two square. Built in stone and brick, the alternation of the two materials is exploited in a decorative key with the alternation of bands and the use of terracotta profiles on a stone background. The buildings make up three sides of the complex, the fourth is closed by a crenellated wall. The entrance was permitted by a drawbridge, traces of which remain above the still existing moat.
