Chiavari Castle, Medieval fortress in Chiavari, Italy.
The stone castle stands on a strategic hilltop position overlooking the Ligurian Sea and the town of Chiavari with its fortified walls.
Construction of the castle began in 1140 following an agreement between Genoa and Fieschi, serving as a defensive structure against maritime invasions.
The fortress represents medieval military architecture of the Italian Riviera and maintains its status as an Italian national heritage monument.
Visitors can access the castle ruins by following Salita al Castello street, which leads directly to the entrance of the historical site.
The castle experienced an eight-day occupation in 1278 when Moruello and Alberto Fieschi temporarily seized control of the fortification.
