State Prision

  
The fortified area, in it's high and isolated position, makes Mount Fumone a perfect look-out point, offering perfect visibility of the surrounding area. The buildings where erected around the Arx (the original nucleus) and the doors of the houses face inwards to make the fortifications even stronger. You can still appreciate today that the houses were originally fortifications and watch towers.
