Castle of Grinzane Cavour, Medieval history museum in Grinzane Cavour, Italy

The Castle of Grinzane Cavour stands on a hilltop near Alba, featuring a rectangular structure with a central tower and four additional turrets.

Built in the 11th century as a watchtower, the castle became the residence of Count Camillo Benso di Cavour, who served as mayor from 1832 to 1849.

The Hall of Masks contains 157 decorated wooden ceiling panels depicting coats of arms, animals, and images celebrating the Falletti marriage of 1517.

The Regional Wine Shop, established in 1967, offers tastings of local wines and displays traditional products from the Langhe-Roero region.

The castle houses original furniture from Count Cavour's bedroom along with documents and artifacts from his time as a local administrator.
