Location of the municipality | |
Torricella-Taverne (also called Taverne-Torricella , in particular because of the so-called station on the Gotthard Railway ) is a political municipality in the Taverne district , in the Lugano district of the canton of Ticino in Switzerland and consists of "Taverne superiore", "Taverne inferiore", the hamlet of il Motto and Torricella .
geography
The municipality consists of the two settlements Taverne and Torricella (with the hamlet Il Motto) and is located on the right bank of the Vedeggio south of the Monte Barro.
history
The village was first mentioned in a document as 1254 Torexella . There are various grave finds from prehistoric, Roman and early medieval times. The expression ad clausas Carvine in a document from 1354 suggests the presence of a fortification in the tavern, which in the early Middle Ages probably formed the northern limit of the possessions of the royal court of Agnuzzo. A castle used to stand on a long rocky hill, from which remains of the tower, the cistern and the curtain wall have been preserved. Despite the sparse tradition, it may have belonged to the Rusca family , who owned numerous estates in the area in the 13th and 14th centuries.
