A square-shaped building divided into three layers is located inside the fortified village, they suppose it was the residence of Spinetta, destroyed by Castruccio in 1319, but it was completely rebuilt in the following years. The Palace has a huge room on the ground floor, called “armory room”, covered by a vaulted structure.
On the eastern side of the Verrucola Fortress there is a large rectangular tower of fourteenth-century architecture, built to defend the village.
The complex is protected by multiple city walls, erected over the centuries. The outer walls (fifteenth century), enclose the entire village and the access is limited to only two doors.
The internal walls protect the tower house and the palace of Spinetta (photo above: the tower on the left surrounded by cypresses), placed on top of the hill.
The fortress main gate is located to the north, under the big square-shaped tower.
