Il Castello

The Castle was built probably in the 13th century to defend the monastery of Momenaco and the inhabitants of the village, and also to guard the provisions and the harvest against looters. The stately sighting tower dates back to the 15th century and was built by the Fioravanti Counts of Forfona, to whom pope Martino V had given the patronage of the abbey of Bominaco, since they had helped to defeat the army of Fortebraccio in a battle in 1424, saving in this way the State of the Church from invasion.
