The village is situated near the torrent, in a slope of
the hill faced up to the midday. The castle, located in the highest part of the
villa, and the church at the low part, are the buildings that define the
beautiful sight of the village.
The ancient nucleus preserve the traditional houses
typology, painted or stuccoed, that let us see the architectonic elements,
façanes, large windows, grilles, balconies and rests of the decorative
paintings of different periods. The entrance halls are a testimony of which
there still are some old villa lefts.
