Unfortunately abandoned, a castle-type structure (in the past also a restaurant) next to the church.

The culmination of a fantastic journey along the Rhine, which takes us to this imposing Gothic palace. It is also the starting point for many riding adventures. You can go up towards Badolo and Brento to reach Monte Adone and take a figure eight tour along the savena

Beautiful medieval palace...marks the beginning of the street of the gods

Beautiful ancient village, worth a stop

Palazzo de Rossi.... the beginning of the Via degli Dei

The arch in front of the church is one of the few remains of the old Castle. ..."The first citation of a castle in the area dates back to 776 as castrum Gissaro quod dicitur Britu, or a castrum known as Britu and called Gissaro from the chalky relief in which it was located. In the 12th century document where it is mentioned, the castrum it is listed together with other localities as owned by the Dukes of Persiceta"... ..."Subsequently in 1137 it was conquered by the imperial troops of Lothair III, at the time at war against Bologna." In 1175 it again became a theater of war in the war between the Empire and the Commune; first sacked by the troops of Cristiano di Magonza it was then the site of a disastrous defeat for the Bolognese. In 1361 it was demolished by the Municipality of Bologna, after it had passed into the hands of Bernabò Visconti. After the 15th century the castle went into decline and already in the 18th century almost nothing remained. To date, very few testimonies remain, portions of the boundary walls and the skeleton of the entrance arch" Cit : Wikipedia
