The castle is situated at the western end of the town, it is known as "Il Torrione", from the square tower, probably of Frederick’s age, which constituted the main stronghold of the defensive system, on which then the following fortification structures were built and then the city walls.

The Clock Tower or the so-called Civic Tower was built in the twelfth century. The building was built to ensure housing and a public clock. The Clock Tower is located in the main square of Avetrana. Over the centuries this clock has undergone many changes, the last one dates back to 1888 by the firm Rizzo and Guglielmi. The Tower has a Gothic style.

The origin of the cavity is to be found in the fusion of two underground water streams once immissari and resurgent in the channel of San Martino. The peculiarity of the cave, besides the archaeological interest, lies in the fact that it develops entirely in the calcarenites which, due to their high porosity, would not be able to develop cavernous phenomena.
But think about how many things nature can build all by itself in a long time? This is a clear demonstration of this.
