A Masterpiece of Rural Architecture
Ricetto di Candelo has preserved its original structure virtually unchanged and still contains the beautiful Palazzo del Principe, built at the end of the 15th century.
Of particular importance are the almost two hundred cells arranged along the characteristic cobbled lanes: spaces once used to store wine, grain and other valuable goods.
Walking through the walls today means entering an extraordinary example of medieval rural architecture, where towers, stone buildings and narrow streets preserve the identity of a community and its centuries-old history.
