The castle is of modest dimension. The interiors feature archways of stars and barrels and are equipped with a hanging garden. From the ancient decorations remained some frescoes in the main floor and some bas-reliefs of modest workmanship in the throne room. The castle was once a chapel dedicated to St. Vito.

historical information:

The Baronial Castle was built on the ruins of the oldest fortress of the thirteenth century desired by Fabiano Securo. Over the centuries the structure underwent numerous interventions, being finally used as a warehouse for tobacco processing. At present, the castle is in a state of abandonment and has structural problems that have caused the shoring.
