Однако он прекрасно сохранился до наших дней.  Узкий и высокий, он  еще и взобрался на высоту 414 m above sea level.

 

The village of Serralunga appeared simultaneously with military citadel in the period 1340-1360. under the Marquises of Falletti.  Throughout the centuries, the castle served as a military fortification and protection from enemy attacks. This is a real impregnable fortress with several levels of protection. Since its construction, the castle has practically not changed its appearance and, despite frequent attacks, is a well-preserved example of a military structure of that time.
