Beautiful fortified Romanesque-Gothic church from the 12th-13th centuries and a 15th-century wall. It is one of the most authentic we have seen, especially including the beautiful town of Viscri.You pay an entrance fee to enter and it is very well cared for but also with an air of being a lively and used place.You can enter many rooms that are museums with historical rural objects. And you can go up to the decks and the church tower. The view from this is very spectacular with the sensation of flying over the void.From my point of view it is the most obligatory to visit.
