Castel Beseno, Medieval fortress in Besenello, Italy.
The stone castle spans across a hilltop at 1,200 feet elevation, featuring thick defensive walls that stretch along the entire ridge of Mount Beseno.
The castle's military significance peaked in 1487 during the Battle of Calliano, where Tyrolean forces defeated the Venetian army advancing toward Trento.
The castle halls contain permanent exhibits displaying medieval weapons, armor, and detailed models depicting the crucial Battle of Calliano through historical reconstructions.
Visitors can access the castle Tuesday through Sunday, with extended hours from May to November, and children under 14 enter free of charge.
The castle maintains a tournament field where guests can handle and test replica weapons from the 15th to 17th centuries.
