View of the Verres Gothic Castle, majestic manor house belonging to the Challants family: it stands on a hill and overlooks the valley. It was built for defensive purpose, but was also used as an abode; it is made up of a unique stone block, decorated with elegant gothic windows. Every year the Castle lodges the traditional Carnival feast which remembers the ancient glory of the Challant family.
