Castello Padenghe, Medieval fortress in Padenghe sul Garda, Italy
The stone castle stands upon a hill with three defensive towers and cobblestone streets enclosing twelve residential houses within its perimeter walls.
The fortress received official recognition in 1154 when Emperor Frederick I Barbarossa granted it to Theobald, the Bishop of Verona.
The castle exemplifies northern Italian military architecture with its squared defense tower reaching 20 meters in height and original drawbridge entrance.
Visitors can explore the castle grounds without admission fees and walk through the preserved medieval streets inside the fortification walls.
The castle belongs to a network of ten fortifications built across Valtenesi region during the 10th century to protect against Hungarian invasions.
