Castello di Campo Ligure, Medieval castle in Campo Ligure, Italy.

The stone fortress stands 28 meters tall with cylindrical defense towers and underground passages connecting to Campo Ligure village.

The Del Bosco family built the castle in the 13th century before the Spinola family acquired it and added fortifications in 1310.

The castle represents military architecture from medieval times and holds recognition as an Italian national heritage monument.

The municipality manages guided tours of the restored sections, while one part remains a private residence and another section collapsed.

Three cylindrical towers contained specialized fire openings that allowed defenders to control access through the Stura valley communication routes.
