Description
In the 13th century, a fortified enclosure with towers was built, as well as a building which then served as a stable. At the end of the 16th century, the part intended for the house was renovated, forming a rectangular building accessible by a ramp and a large door. This Corinthian style door seems to go back to the second half of the 16th century and is adorned with sculptures. It overlooks a slightly inclined passage which leads to an interior courtyard surrounded by an iron -shaped steps. The facade overlooking the courtyard of the large building reflects the architecture of the second half of the 16th century.
