Castello di Moccò, Medieval castle in San Dorligo della Valle, Italy.

Castello di Moccò stands on a hill between the Karst plateau and Mount San Michele, overlooking the Rosandra Valley and Bagnoli settlement.

The fortress, first documented in 1233, changed control between Venice and Trieste multiple times until local inhabitants destroyed it in 1511.

The structure represents the architectural evolution of border fortifications, with its original three towers later modified to match the height of perimeter walls.

The main access point to the castle remains through the northwestern path, which provides the most direct route to reach the historical site.

A 9-meter section of wall with an arch opening remains visible, modified during World War I to accommodate a machine gun position.
