Castle della Dragonara, Medieval castle in Camogli, Italy.
Castle della Dragonara stands on a cliff above the Gulf of Tigullio, featuring thick stone walls and defensive structures overlooking the Ligurian Sea.
Built in the 12th century by the Genoese Republic, the castle functioned as a strategic military outpost to protect the coastline from naval invasions.
The castle regularly hosts exhibitions and educational programs that showcase the maritime traditions and defensive strategies of medieval Liguria.
Visitors can access the castle through marked hiking trails starting from Camogli's center, with guided tours available during summer months.
The castle's watchtowers provided an early warning system using fire signals to communicate with other coastal fortifications along the Ligurian coast.
