Castel Masegra, Medieval castle in Sondrio, Italy

The castle stands at the entrance of Valmalenco valley with stone walls, towers, and internal courtyards overlooking the surrounding mountainous landscape.

Built during the Middle Ages, Castel Masegra remained the only fortress in Sondrio that survived the 16th-century invasion of Valtellina region.

The castle houses CAST, a multimedia museum dedicated to mountain narratives through exhibitions focusing on climbing, mountaineering, and environmental themes.

The castle welcomes visitors from February to December, with extended weekend hours during summer months and free admission throughout the year.

The Renaissance Camera Picta inside the dovecote tower contains a series of frescoes depicting scenes from Orlando Furioso.
