You enter the medieval village through a round arched door which was guarded by the guardhouse which was located in the adjacent cylindrical building, where the loophole through which the drawbridge was controlled is still visible. The tower, in an angled position with respect to the stately building, delimits the small square where the water well was located, of which now only the descent arm remains.
A little ahead on the left, the magnificent sixteenth-century ashlar portal of Palazzo Orsini; on the architrave a verse from Virgil’s Aeneid (I, 26).
