The Castle of Barracco is an imposing baronial residence probably built in place of the ancient Byzantine castrum of the sixth century wanted by the eastern strategists to make safe the road that led from the Silan plateau to Crotone. The last heavy intervention is dated 1885 when the Neapolitan architect Adolfo Mastrigli, added the rivellino and a cylindrical crenellated tower in imitation of the ancient medieval castles to mask a water tank that was used for the same castle. At the foot of the rivellino stood, until the mid 70s, a beautiful sandstone formation known as "Crescent Moon". This was because the Baron had made a mural, in the highest part of the spur, a metallic basin of celestial colour in which the water needed to quench the thirst of the birds dripped and which from afar appeared as a half of the lunar disc.
There is a remarkable feudal chapel with paintings of the Neapolitan school.
