The castle of Arcano Superiore, magnificently preserved and still inhabited, is surronded by a magic athmosphere deriving from the isolated site on which it was built. It originally stood near the little church of San Mauro, on the banks of the river Corno. For defensive and strategic reasons it was later rebuilt in the place where it still stands today. The structural extensions probably date back to the 13th century. It is certain that from the 12th century onwards it belonged to the Tricano family, hereditary marshals and gonfaloniers of the patriarch of Aquileia.
The castle still preserves its suggestive medieval appearance, with its Guelph crenellated curtains, the characteristic double tower and the mighty keep with an elegant row of late Romanesque mullioned windows at the top.
