Castel Cles, Medieval castle in Cles, Italy.
Located on a hill above Lake Santa Giustina, Castel Cles rises among the apple orchards and green fields of Val di Non valley.
The castle emerged in the 12th century as a strategic fortification to control the Roman road connecting both banks of Stream Noce.
Prince-Bishop Bernardo Clesio transformed the medieval structure into a Renaissance residence, adding decorative frescoes by painter Marcello Fogolino in the 16th century.
The castle remains a private property of the Barons of Cles, with access limited to specific summer events and guided tours.
The Saletta delle Metamorfosi room contains a collection of frescoes depicting scenes from Ovid's Metamorphoses, painted during the Renaissance period.
