Pietramogolana Castle, Medieval castle ruins in Pietramogolana, Italy.

The stone remains of this medieval fortress stand on a rocky elevation above the Taro River, featuring walls and a former keep structure.

The fortress emerged in 1250 under Bishop Obizzo Fieschi's direction, following numerous territorial disputes between feudal lords and the church.

The castle's architecture reflects the military engineering techniques of medieval Italian fortifications, with strategic positioning for valley observation.

The ruins require careful navigation due to pathway degradation, and visitors should contact Berceto Municipality for access information.

The castle's name derives from Petra Mugiens, meaning roaring stone, referencing the sound of water flowing through the Taro River below.
