Castel San Pietro, Medieval castle in Ton, Italy

The stone fortification stands on a rocky spur between Non Valley and Adige Valley, featuring a cylindrical tower at 864 meters above sea level.

The Thun family constructed the castle during the 12th century along an ancient Roman road connecting Anaunia with the Adige Valley through Roccapiana Pass.

The castle includes a chapel dedicated to Saint Peter, consecrated in 1504 by Bishop Francesco De la Chiesa for Sunday and religious festival services.

The castle remains can be reached through Via Mezzel, requiring a one-hour walk from Vigo di Ton in the Trentino province.

The structure contains a rare cylindrical tower dating from the early Roman settlement period, which has survived centuries of abandonment since the 17th century.
