Torre del castello dei Conti Radicati

The round, crenellated brick tower on the summit is Cocconato's skyline landmark. It stands on the site of the Radicati counts' castle, destroyed by the French in 1556: the surviving medieval tower carried a Napoleonic optical telegraph, was pulled down in 1836 for a windmill, whose tower later became part of a private home, Villa Pia. It opens only on rare occasions, so it is admired from the lanes below.
