Aymavilles Castle, Medieval castle in Aymavilles, Italy
Aymavilles Castle is a fortress on a hilltop with four cylindrical towers surrounding a central courtyard and white facades that blend medieval and baroque architectural styles. The building shows traces of different construction periods and today contains multiple rooms open for visitors to explore.
First mentioned in records from 1207, the fortress was acquired in the 14th century by the Challant family, who added defensive structures including the towers. These changes shaped the castle's appearance that visitors see today.
The rooms inside display furniture and decorative pieces from the 1800s that show the tastes of the noble families living there. These collections give visitors a sense of how wealthy residents arranged their spaces and spent their daily lives.
The property is best reached through the main entrance and can be explored comfortably on foot, with most areas open to visitors. Wear comfortable shoes since there are stairs and uneven paths throughout the grounds.
The roof structure dates to the 15th century and uses wooden beams, a rare example of construction from that era. The garden terraces on the Italian grounds are decorated with painted images of historical figures that add artistic interest to the outdoor spaces.
