Paderna Castle, Medieval castle in Pontenure, Italy
The rectangular fortress features four square towers of different sizes, solid defensive walls, and remains encircled by a water-filled moat.
The castle appears in documents from the 9th century and underwent significant changes in 1453 when the Marazzani family from Rimini acquired the property.
The Church of Santa Maria within the castle grounds incorporates ancient Roman columns and follows precise geometric principles in its construction.
Visitors can explore the castle grounds, including the ancient prisons and armory collection, during weekend mornings from March through October.
The castle hosts an annual exhibition of rare plant species and forgotten fruits during the first weekend of October, drawing thousands of participants.
