Castle of Costigliole d'Asti, Medieval castle in Costigliole d'Asti, Italy.

The castle features four circular towers at its corners, forming a square layout with baroque elements on the eastern facade and an old drawbridge on the western side.

Emperor Henry III transferred ownership of the castle to the Church of Asti in 1041, marking the beginning of centuries of architectural modifications and noble ownership.

The National Museum of the Territory operates inside the castle, providing exhibitions about local heritage and the development of regional wine production traditions.
