The Church of Sant'Antonio di Contrada is located in Via Luigi Bruno, near the Church of San Giovanni Battista. Dating back to 1756, its structure, with essential architectural lines, dominates the square in front. A double order of decorative pilasters protrude from a facade with a simple and linear profile; boasts a stone portal, artistically decorated, which embellishes the overall image. On the lunette above it, there is a Latin inscription. The remaining external surface of the religious building has not been subject to renovations: during the recent restorations, it was, in fact, left in its raw state, not plastered. The church, privately owned, is open to the faithful only on the day of the celebrations of St. Anthony, on June 13 of each year; here the Eucharistic celebration takes place, at the end of which the rite of distribution of blessed bread to all the inhabitants is foreseen, as the ancient tradition that originates from one of the many miracles of the Paduan saint.

Located on a hill on the slopes of Mount Pergola, the castle was part of an important defensive complex. It consisted of a series of walls that surrounded the hill turning it into a fortified point.

Superb dirt track that develops in ups and downs, very nice both uphill and downhill, pay attention to areas with growing vegetation that is reclaiming the original path, I recommend high socks and gloves, in some places you pass between brambles.
