Tower and village of Bascio

Hamlet of Molino di Bascio.
This is all that remains of the ancient mighty fortress which once dominated the Marecchia valley; together with the castles of Gattara, Miratoio and Scavolino it was one of the earliest fiefs of the Carpegna family. At the foot of the tower is the “Petrified Garden” designed by Tonino Guerra, visible from the exterior.

The tower is located on the hillock rising above the hamlet of Bascio.
