Castle of Levanto, Medieval castle in Levanto, Italy
The Castle of Levanto features a square base structure with a circular tower and stands on a hill overlooking the Ligurian coast.
The fortification, constructed between the 11th and 12th centuries by the Malaspina family, served as protection against maritime invasions and later became a prison.
