Torrette ed avancorpi Caiselli

On the historic east-west artery of the town stands a seventeenth-century complex of two parallel, elongated rectangular buildings, enclosed by a high stone wall with crenellations and towers at each end. The courtyard is entered through a gate flanked by two pillars topped with stone urns. The side wings rise over two storeys, their façades marked by the rhythmic repetition of openings arranged around arched portals. Originally, a manor house stood at the north end of the courtyard, but it is no longer there. The western portion on the street has a portal of irregular stone blocks with a keystone mask. The skyline is finished by two dovecote towers, with small rectangular windows and slits. On the eastern tower a sundial is painted, bearing the inscription “Maneo Nemini” and “Anno Domini MCMXCVI”. The complex was restored at the beginning of this century.
