Doria castle in Dolceacqua, Medieval castle and history museum in Dolceacqua, Italy

The stone fortress stands on a hilltop, featuring defensive walls, a circular tower, and multiple rooms arranged around a central courtyard.

Originally built in 1177 as a feudal structure, the castle expanded in the 14th century and transformed into a fortified residence during the Renaissance period.

The castle exhibitions present the local heritage through historical artifacts, traditional products, and documents highlighting the influence of the Doria dynasty.

Visitors can explore various sections of the castle, including the atrium, exhibition rooms, and viewing points that overlook the Nervia Valley.

Claude Monet immortalized the castle in 1884 through a painting that now resides in the Musée Marmottan Monet in Paris.
