The foundation date of Zena Castle is unknown. The fortress still preserves the castle architectural characteristics of the structure, which has a square design: one of the four buildings was demolished in the 18th century. The western side with the main entrance still bears signs of a drawbridge.The ditch surrounding the complex has been recently excavated and revealed the presence of a fourth building and a tower. Inside there are an imposing fireplace surmounted by a coat of arms and interesting frescoes rediscovered not long ago.
