Nice site of historical interest. Its origins date back to the Middle Ages. It is located on top of a hill from which you can enjoy a beautiful panorama. The castle is located within a farm, so you need to ask permission to access it.

The remains of the UGGIANO CASTLE are something incredible. We got there by following the path that leads from the church of Santa Maria degli Angeli to the castle (strictly on foot). The castle enjoys a breathtaking view, it seems to be in a Nordic landscape. Ruined walls, high walls, and a still intact portal with an Ogiva entrance appear to be of Arab origin. Ravines and corners with visions of the ancient land of Lucania. I was wonderfully fascinated by the place. Of course it should be valued and made use of. a real marvel.

Celje Castle

Celje Castle was once the largest fortification on Slovenian territory. The first fortified building on the site (a Romanesque palace) was built in the first half of the 13th century by the Counts of Heunburg from Carinthia on the stony outcrop on the western side of the ridge where the castle stands. It had five sides, or four plus the southern side, which was a natural defence. The first written records of the castle date back to between 1125 and 1137; it was probably built by Count Gunter. In the western section of the castle, there was a building with several floors. Remains of the walls of this palatium have survived. In the eastern section, there was an enclosed courtyard with large water reservoirs. The eastern wall, which protects the castle from its most exposed side, was around three metres thicker than the rest of the curtain wall. The wall was topped with a parapet and protected walkway.
