BAGLIO FONTANA

 

The fortified structures of the “bagli” (farmhouse hamlets) characterize the countryside around Buseto: these are built in dominating positions in order to control the surrounding land and the various phase of the agricultural work. The main element is an internal courtyard, in Arab bahal from where the name Baglio probably comes from, around which there are accommodation buildings, stables and storerooms. The most fascinating and significant bagli are Bombolone, Coppola, Fontana, Murfi and Ragaleo.
