The Canussio Castle rises in
via Nicolò Canussio, along the line
marked from the second town-walls built in
Roman age. Before the Castle in the same place
there used to be the palace of the Canussio,
a noble family of the late Middle ages that
passed over the property to the barons Creiger
from Austria. The Creigher transformed and
widened the building according to a particular
neogothic taste. The complex is characterized
by the mixture of different elements of various
historical ages and by the turrets of diverse
height. In occasion of the recent restorations
the castle has been object of archaeological
searches that have revealed the presence of
interesting Roman and Middle Ages structures.
