Castelbosco, Medieval castle in Gragnano Trebbiense, Italy.
Castelbosco is a castle in Gragnano Trebbiense with solid stone walls and four corner towers forming a rectangular fortress. You can still see traces of arrow slits and defensive walkways on the outside, showing how it once protected against attack.
The Scotti family built this fortress in the 13th century as a defense structure for the region. In 1818 it passed to the Galli counts and stopped serving a military purpose.
The castle represents the architectural evolution of military fortifications in the Piacenza region during the Middle Ages and Renaissance periods.
The grounds are open for visitors to explore the fortress layout and visit the attached museum. The best time to visit is outside the hottest summer days, when you can walk the walls more comfortably.
Inside the castle sits a museum dedicated to converting livestock manure into sustainable materials and energy. This unexpected purpose shows how historic fortresses today serve modern environmental solutions.
