After leaving Sesto Reghena, we looked on the map and saw some more castle icons on the map that were in the general area. You never know whether these castles are just ruins or if they are a complete building. The first castle was a ruin, however, there was a viable church within its wall and a restaurant. Here is a picture taken part way down the castle hill showing part of this lower wall section. It is now being used as a walkway for people living in that area.




Here is a “map” that shows how the castle and other buildings were laid out.



And these are the remains of the ruins and current buildings and walls.










Another castle was Castello di Villalta. It was private and we could only gaze at it through the gates and from afar when we were on the back road behind it.
