Torre Pala (oua_28352545_image)

Torre Pala was erected towards the end of the thirteenth century and later enlarged in the fourteenth century. The structure is a rectangular building about 22 meters high and has a crenellated top.

Description

In 1265, the castle appears for the first time in a historical document with the Sacco family as the owner, although it is not clear if they were the original builders or if they took possession of the structure later. The largest northern tower was added in the second half of the thirteenth century by the Counts of Sasso. These two towers were separated by a space of 3 meters and connected by a bridge. Around 1400, the northern tower was elevated to its current height of six floors and crowned by a gable roof.
