Castle Remains and Church of the Addolorata

What to see

• The stretches of wall that survive from the ancient castle.
• The small church of Madonna Addolorata, built on top of the ruins.
• The history: after the redemption of 1719, when Rivello freed itself from its last feudal lord, Oronzo Pinelli, the inhabitants demolished the castle for fear that another lord would arrive.

How to get there

It is located in the upper part of the village, at the top of the historic centre. You reach it on foot, climbing staircases and narrow alleys; the position on the map is approximate.

Useful information

• Comfortable shoes are recommended, as there are staircases.
• Nearby: the church of San Nicola di Bari, partly extended over the castle ruins, and the crypt of San Nicola.
