Castle of the Unnamed Vercurago Like
Originally a signalling tower, that later became a fortress as documented 1158. There is no information about the proceeding centuries until 1454 when the area fell into the hands of the Republic of Venice and the Adda River became the natural border between the Serenissima (Venice) and the duchy of Milan. The fortress was destroyed by the French, and later shelled by Russian in 1799 during the battle with Napoleonic troops. What does remain today of the castle was referenced by Manzoni in his literary works.
