The medieval village is a complex of 19th-century buildings built on the small hill of San Venanzio, through an extravagant fusion in a single structure of different architectural and artistic styles, from Neo-Gothic to Moorish, with numerous contaminations deriving from the many training experiences gained over time by its author and owner Gennaro della Monica. This group of buildings and green areas is also identified, less exactly, with the denomination of Castello Della Monica. The building is being renovated and its interior can not be visited.
