Castelfranco, Medieval fort in Finalmarina, Italy
The fortified structure stands on the Gottaro promontory, separating the Sciusa and Pora valleys at 26 meters above sea level near Finale Ligure.
The Republic of Genoa constructed Castelfranco in 1365 to establish control over the territory and limit the influence of Del Carretto marquises.
The fortress now houses the Multimedia Historic Territorial Documentation Centre, displaying historical maps, photographs, and records of the Piaggio aviation industry.
The fort opens Monday and Tuesday from 10:00 to 15:00, and Thursday through Sunday from 10:00 to 15:00 and 17:30 to 19:00.
In 1745, the fortress demonstrated its defensive capabilities by successfully repelling an attack from fourteen English naval vessels.
