Castel Pietra, Medieval castle in Calliano, Italy.
The stone fortress stands at the foot of Castel Beseno, featuring Gothic architecture with defensive walls that extended to the Adige River point.
During the Battle of Calliano in 1487, the castle served as a strategic point where Venetian troops under Sanseverino faced a significant defeat.
The Sala del Giudizio contains preserved 15th-century frescoes depicting court life scenes, representing medieval artistic traditions of northern Italy.
The castle offers guided tours for 5 euros per adult, while a tour including wine tasting costs 10 euros, with advance reservations required.
Napoleon Bonaparte positioned cannons on the adjacent Cengio Rosso in 1796, forcing Austrian troops to surrender through strategic bombardment.
