Architecture / castello
Italian term or phrase: braga
Sul lato meridionale fece ampliare il fossato e rinforzare la base delle torri con una braga merlata dotata di bocche da fuoco.

Il camminamento protetto da tale braga consentiva il collegamento fra i due ingressi del castello protetti da due ponti levatoi, oggi fissi, mentre una galleria sotterranea fu munita di aperture per il tiro radente.

Dal pozzo collegato alla cisterna era possibile attingere l’acqua direttamente dal piano della braga
