Its typology brings to mind the castelli-recintos of the Abruzzo-Molise area, the closest example of which, not only geographically, is that of Pesche, where the strut is absent, as in our castle, unlike other examples of the same type. This castle was meant to appear as an authentic citadel in which the functions of government, both civil (the feudal lord's palace) and religious (the parish), are based, thus representing the center of the urban agglomeration.

The Viaduct-Aqueduct Bridge in Gravina, in Puglia, is a spectacular dual-purpose link, with a majestic architecture, located close to the ancient Crapo stream.
