Castello Grumello, Medieval castle in Montagna in Valtellina, Italy.
The fortress includes two separate buildings connected by defensive walls, with a residential section in the west and a military complex in the east.
The De Piro family constructed the castle between the late 13th and early 14th centuries, until its destruction by the Grisons forces in 1526.
The castle stands as an example of medieval military architecture in Lombardy, featuring a quadrangular tower and remnants of ancient defensive structures.
Visitors can access the castle from Tuesday to Sunday between March and September from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM, with reduced hours during winter months.
The name Grumello derives from the local term 'grumo', referring to the rocky elevation where the fortress sits overlooking Sondrio and the valley.
