Fortress San Bernardino Mesolcina Calanca
Torre Pala
Description
In 1265, the castle is mentioned for the first time in a historical document in which the Sacco family is named as the owners, although it is not clear whether they were the original builders or if they took possession of the structure later. The larger north tower was added in the second half of the 13th century by the Counts of Sasso. These two towers were separated by a 3 m wide gap and connected by a bridge. Around 1400, the north tower was raised to its present height of six storeys and crowned with a gable roof.
