Castle of Madrignano, Medieval castle in Calice al Cornoviglio, Italy.

The Castle of Madrignano stands on a hilltop with a round corner tower and stone walls overlooking the Lunigiana region in Liguria.

First documented in 1162 through Frederick Barbarossa's imperial diploma, the castle was assigned to Obizzo Malaspina and later controlled by the Republic of Genoa.

The castle houses the Museum of Ancient Ligurians, preserving artifacts and historical records that document the region's early inhabitants and their traditions.

Visitors can reach the castle by taking regional transport from Genoa or La Spezia to Calice al Cornoviglio, followed by local roads to the site.

The structure endured significant damage during a ten-day military occupation between 1705 and 1706 amid conflicts involving French, Spanish, and Austrian forces.
