Castello di Monreale, Medieval castle in Faedo, Italy.

The stone castle features a prominent hexagonal tower and crenellated defensive walls positioned high above the Rotaliana plain near San Michele all'Adige.

First documented in 1238 as Castrum regalis, the fortress served as a strategic control point for trade routes between northern and southern territories.

The castle's name appears in a medieval fresco inside the church of Sant'Agata in Faedo, demonstrating its regional influence in religious art.

The castle remains under private ownership by Karl Schmid and operates as an agricultural enterprise, with limited access during specific events.

The castle houses a private chapel within its walls and currently functions as the headquarters of a large wine production facility.
