Access via the Crottés trail which overlooks the roofs of the village.
These small vaulted shelters, typical of the region, are after the Sardinian restoration, when the Republic of Genoa is attached to the Kingdom of Savoy-Sardinia. No longer threatening his southern flank, the sovereign abandoned the castle of Ar Casté which then served as a stone quarry for the people of the country. Some build these Crottés into shelters in which they store clays during the night on which they dry figs and plums.
