Castello, Medieval castle in Castiglione delle Stiviere, Italy
The castle stands on a hill overlooking the town, featuring a preserved entrance tower and the Basilica of San Sebastiano within its courtyard.
The fortress, built on Roman foundations in the 9th century, became the residence of the Gonzaga family and underwent major renovations in 1491 by architect Giovanni da Padova.
San Luigi Gonzaga, who later became a saint, was born within these castle walls on March 9, 1568.
The castle now functions as the Parish Center of Castiglione delle Stiviere and accepts visitors by appointment at Via San Carlo Borromeo 1.
French armies caused substantial damage to the structure in 1706, and its stones were later used to construct the town cathedral in 1763.
