Castel Gresta

This castle, overlooking the valley bearing the same name in the direction of Loppio,

belonged to the Castelbarcos from Gresta, who fiercely opposed the Prince-Bishops of the Madruzzo family and then moved to the more comfortable Palace of Loppio, thus leaving the building, which was plundered by the Vandalic troops of Vendôme. The position of the ruins and their features confirm that the place was previously occupied by a castle, known as Castel Vecchio (Old Castle). Love stories and legends make the few remaining stones, surrounded by lush vegetation, quite charming. The visitor can see only ruins.
