Ruin...

Of ancient origin (it was built in the twelfth century on a previous settlement of the year one thousand) and is located almost 1200 meters high, dominating the valley. It can be reached with a path (n.2) from the underlying village of Gais, in an hour's walk (with some points a bit steep and others in a dense forest ..). From a distance, the external structure appears to be intact, but up close, one realizes that its interiors are "dangerously" in ruins, due to the state of neglect in which the castle is located (it has been abandoned since 1944, when hit..). The ancient chapel dedicated to St. Erasmus, despite being dilapidated, still retains some ancient frescoes. The castle and the surrounding woods are privately owned. My visit dates back to the pre-covid period.

Ruined castle near the hamlet of Villa Santa Caterina. It can be reached with a rather steep walk of 30/40 minutes.

Only ruins, but worth a visit

The path is already long-winded but (steep) there isn't much to see of the castle itself... and the rest is slowly falling into private ownership.
