Castello di Lozio, Medieval castle in Villa, Lozio, Italy.

Castello di Lozio is a medieval fortress rising from steep rocks at approximately 1200 meters elevation in the Alpine region. The ruins comprise two courtyards, several rooms, and a two-story tower distributed across a compact footprint.

The castle dates to the late 13th century and belonged almost exclusively to the Nobili family. After the 1410 Lozio massacre wiped out the family, the stronghold passed to the Federici until Venice returned it in 1428. It is now owned by the municipality of Lozio.

The castle belonged almost exclusively to the Nobili family; after the 1410 Lozio massacre it passed to the Federici until the Venetian restitution of 1428, and today it is owned by the municipality of Lozio. The watchtower above the rock at 1288 m gave a full view over the Val di Lozio and the peaks of Concarena.

The ruins are accessible via an entrance on the western side, and sturdy footwear is recommended due to steep terrain. Visitors should prepare for alpine weather, as conditions can change quickly at this elevation.

The watchtower stands on the rock above the ruins at 1288 metres, about 88 metres higher than the castle itself, and gave a complete view over the Val di Lozio and the peaks of the Concarena. The castle ruins below occupy about 300 square metres of walkable surface.
