Castel San Pietro

The prehistoric castle gained strategic importance before and especially during the Middle Ages. Numerous archaeologic finds of objects made of stone and ceramics, as well as Roman coins and a little statue of Apollo vouch for the different time periods it went through.

The remains of its beams are still visible in some points. Due to its appearance, the monument was also known as "Tre Corni" (three horns), as at the time its three curtain walls were the only parts to have withstood assaults and decay over the centuries without succumbing. Only two of the walls made of square shaped stones have survived to this day.

The remains of the monument in the municipality of Torcegno can be easily reached via a path starting at the church dedicated to Santa Maria Ausiliatrice and leading up to the summit of Mt. Ciolino.
