Castello di Dinazzano

The castle stands on top of a hill overlooking the plains of Modena and Reggio Emilia, featuring a brick tower with Ghibelline battlements.

In 1184, the Lords of Montemagno transferred a section of the castle to Reggio's municipality for fortification along the Secchia canal.

The castle belongs to the network of Reggio Emilia province fortifications, representing the medieval defense systems of northern Italy.

The original bell from the castle tower is now displayed in the entrance hall of Casalgrande Town Hall for public viewing.

The castle's strategic position allowed complete control over the Secchia canal, making it an essential point for monitoring water routes.
