FRAZIONE OF THE COMMUNE OF ORTELLE

Vignacastrisi is the only small village under the administration of Ortelle. The origins of this small centre are still uncertain and the The Congregation of the Rosaryfirst village might have been founded in 1532. Probably the inhabitants of Vignacastrisi grew vineyards belonging to the County of Castro. In 1536 the population increased notably after the arrival of the people who had escaped from the destruction of Castro.  Vignacastrisi followed the same fate of the County of Castro until  1806. Here there are only two religious monuments: the Congrega of the Rosary and the Mother Church, that probably was built in the XVIII century and its style is very simple.
