Castello di Monteventano, Medieval castle in Piozzano, Italy.

The fortress stands at 420 meters above sea level on a hilltop, featuring a 30-meter high central tower and defensive walls with arrow slits.

Frederick Barbarossa destroyed the original structure in 1164, leading to its reconstruction and subsequent transformation into a county seat in the following centuries.

The castle complex includes a church dedicated to the Nativity of the Virgin Mary, which received official parish status in the early 16th century.

Visitors can reach the castle by traveling 34 kilometers from Piacenza to Agazzano, then following signs to Strada di Monteventano for 4 additional kilometers.

German painter Bernd Zimmer, a founder of the Neuen Wilden art movement, currently owns this Italian national heritage site.
