Remains of the medieval castle of San Nicandro, in the territory of Sicignano degli Alburni, a fief of the Alagni in the late 13th century.

In the territory of Sicignano degli Alburni, towards Castelluccio, lie the traces of the Castle of San Nicandro, one of the strongholds that in the Middle Ages controlled the routes between the Tanagro valley and the Alburni. Sources record that in 1280 Matteo d'Alagni was lord of the castles of Sicignano, San Nicandro and San Gregorio.A few years later, in 1288, the castle passed to his son Baldoino d'Alagni, who took the title of its lord. We like to imagine this place as a sentinel over the landscape: we suggest visiting it combined with a tour of the area's medieval villages and, for those who love walking, a hike in the Alburni Mountains.
