tipiche dell'impianto medievale, dal &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;"cassero" (X -XI sec.)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; che al tempo probabilmente era dotato di torri difensive e da una prima cinta di mura che racchiudeva il villaggio tra l'attuale piazza Matteotti e la &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Chiesa di San Giovanni Battista (1227),&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;
