Malpaga Castle, Medieval castle in Cavernago, Italy.
The square castle features double defensive walls, a surrounding ditch, and interior rooms decorated with detailed Renaissance frescoes by Il Romanino.
Condottiero Bartolomeo Colleoni acquired the deteriorated structure from Bergamo commune in 1456 and transformed it into a military stronghold and residence.
The castle walls display painted frescoes depicting the 1474 visit of King Christian I of Denmark through scenes of banquets and tournaments.
The castle offers guided tours allowing visitors to explore multiple rooms containing period furnishings and Renaissance decorative elements.
A fresco in the courtyard illustrates the Battle of Molinella from 1467, showing Colleoni's military engagement near Bologna.
