16th-century castle of Torraca on a rocky spur, with crenellated walls and a pentagonal tower.

The castle of Torraca stands on a spur of rock around which the village grew. It has an L-shaped plan and a crenellated circuit wall with two towers, one of them pentagonal, with its point facing north.It is thought to have been built in the 16th century on a medieval building. The interior cannot be visited: we suggest admiring it from the village during a stroll through the lanes.
