Description
The castle of Cassacco was built on the remains of late-Roman foundations; it belonged to the lords of Montegnacco, then it became a fief first of the della Torre family and then it was transferred in 1338 to the Savorgnan della Bandiera by Patriarch Bertrando, in 1466 it was sold to the lords of Montegnacco and was their property until 1947. The southern tower and the ground floor built on the late-Roman foundations still remain from the medieval period. In 1480 the castle was renovated to give it the current symmetrical aspect of that period. In the XVI century, two adorned Roman high-reliefs that had only just been renovated were moved from Aquileia and placed on the north side of the wall along the moat.
