Rotonda Castle Ruins

History

Rotonda already existed in Lombard times. The castle was built by the Sanseverino di Bisignano family in the 15th century; today only the ruins remain.

What to see

• The castle ruins, with the tower.
• The steep stone staircases that climb up from the town.
• The alleys and stone portals of the medieval core.

How to get there

You climb on foot from the centre via staircases; Rotonda is the “gateway” to the Pollino National Park.

Useful information

• The ruins can be seen from the outside; wear comfortable shoes.
• See also the Church of the Rosary and the Sanctuary of the Consolazione.
