Ricetto di Candelo

The complex consists of 200 small buildings arranged in a rectangular shape, enclosed by defensive walls with two entrance towers.

During the 13th century, local inhabitants constructed this fortified structure to protect food supplies and valuables from frequent military raids.

The medieval granary features five parallel streets connecting rows of rustic buildings called cellule, which stored grain and wine.

Visitors can explore the museum complex throughout the year, with guided tours available in multiple languages upon reservation.

The medieval structure retains its original defensive elements, including watchtowers, stone walls, and narrow cobblestone passages between storage units.
