History
Above Pasturo on a cliff, almost promontory, was the fortress of Bajedo in the mid of 1400s during the time of
Caius Marius, after being defeated by the Cimbri. They called them doors and then "cloistered". The bridge was ruined by the river about 1550. The fortress was dismantled in 1513 with the assent of Trivulzio to which the inhabitants of Valsassino had turned. Today the cliff is bare.[4]
