How old is Verrucola Castle? First mention of the castle called Verrucola Bosorum is found in 1044, when it was owned by the Bosi family, although it is built on an earlier Roman site; traces remain of Roman construction in a wall that encloses the castle. It's pretty certain that at the end of the antique period the castle controlled the road and collected tolls from travellers coming from the Cerreto pass. In the 1500s the Castle was turned into a monastery.
