The lost village of Antuni is located on a hill completely surrounded by the Turano lake and connected to the mainland only by a narrow isthmus.
The Del Drago Palace, named after the last family who had control of the fiefdom, is accessed by passing under an arch.
It was composed of a large number of rooms, many of which were frescoed, with stone staircases and 365 windows.
The whole structure can be visited only from the outside while, in the facade, the only original aspect remaining is the entrance portal.
The village was bombed in 1944 by US planes and abandoned by its inhabitants.
In 1992, the palace of Del Drago was purchased by the town to install a rehabilitation centre for drug addicts.
The historical reconstruction of the two castles was made possible thanks to the testimony of a painting (1601) by the Flemish painter Paul Bril.
