Drena Castle

Perched on the top of the hill which dominates the valley and the road it’s mentioned as far back as
the 12th century but is certainly far older. It features a square tower (25 m) in the centre of a boundary
wall which encloses what remains of the church of San Martino and a number of dwellings.

The castle belonged for centuries to the Counts of Arco and had mixed fortunes over the years, feeling the fury of General Vendôme who set fire to it in 1703.
