Castle of Pietra Ligure, Medieval castle in Pietra Ligure, Italy.
The Castle of Pietra Ligure stands prominently on a limestone rock formation behind the historic center, featuring defensive walls and medieval architecture.
Built during the 12th century, this fortress played an essential role in protecting trade routes along the Ligurian coast from maritime invasions.
The castle's strategic position and architectural design reflect the medieval military engineering principles commonly used throughout northern Italian fortifications.
