The original volume was completed in imitation of the medieval style, only to be subjected, years later (2014-2017), to a further restoration intervention in which the aim was to restore "the soul of the castle", preserving the ancient part, showing clearly the difference between the medieval part and the recent works.

In 1960 only the stone perimeter walls of the building and part of the defensive walls remained. During the early 1990s it was transformed and expanded to create a private residence.

Private building. Interesting example of architectural recovery. The current building was born from the transformation and expansion of an ancient medieval castle. Located on a promontory, at the time of its construction (11th century) the castle enjoyed a very strategic position and constituted an observation and defense point along the road to the Mara and Intelvi valleys.

I visited this Castle years ago, on the occasion of an FAI Day and it is really worth a visit whenever possible. But even the mere external view, on a beautiful day, repays the effort of the ascent.

Ruin of an extensive castle complex on the banks of the Magliasina and on the old Roman road through the Malcantone. The square Bering and slight traces of the central main building (tower?) And other buildings are visible. The castle is said to have been destroyed in the war between Milan and Como in 1156.

Ancient ruins of an ancient castle. The coat of arms of Melano represents the lake, the Castellaccio (of which the ruins are still visible) built by the Como people around the year 1000 AD.

This structure is part of today known as the Cadorna line defense system that - was built for fear of an Austro-German attack on neutral Switzerland - near the Swiss border. The Italian military corps had built two observation bunkers with the help of civilian labor: one below the oratory of San Martino and one for the artillery between the summit and the Vallalta yoke. In addition, a barracks, a cavern battery and a labyrinth of trenches and walkways were built in the village of Vallalta. The military importance of these structures diminished over time and they were only occasionally used for military training purposes.
