Castello della Manta, Medieval castle and military museum in Manta, Italy
The Baronial Hall features Late Gothic frescoes depicting Nine Worthies and Nine Female Heroines wearing 15th-century noble garments on the surrounding walls.
Built in 1150 as a fortress, the castle underwent transformations in 1420 under the Saluzzo della Manta family into a noble residence near Saluzzo.
The interior walls display the Fountain of Youth fresco, inspired by Marquess Thomas III of Saluzzo's poem Le Chevalier Errant.
Visitors can access the castle from Wednesday to Sunday between 10:00 and 18:00, with summer hours extending from 11:00 to 19:00.
The Sala delle Grottesche contains a painted ceiling from 1560 with Mannerist decorations showing ancient ruins and architectural elements.
