Sannazzaro Castle was founded following the imperial diploma granted in 1163 by Federico Barbarossa to the Sannazzaro family, who are still the owners today. In the mid-19th century interior restoration work was carried out in neo-Gothic ( and neo-Renaissance) style: on that occasion, the young painter Grosso died when he fell while frescoeing the central group of the ballroom; since then, legend has it that his ghost has been wandering around the rooms of the castle. A short distance away is the parish church of San Pietro Apostolo built in 1840, which preserves the 18th century belfry of the preceding construction.
