Castello di Pilato, Medieval castle in Nus, Italy
The rectangular fortress features two corner towers and three thick stone walls, with remnants of a large fireplace on the northern section.
The Lords of Nus constructed the castle in the 14th century along the Via Francigena, making it one of the oldest feudal properties in Aosta Valley.
The castle maintains its Romanesque architecture elements, including an ornate window frame carved into the western wall of the structure.
Visitors can access the guard walkway and cylindrical watchtowers through a modern staircase installed on the southern side of the castle.
Ancient coins and Roman medals discovered in 1846 among the castle ruins support the tale of Pontius Pilate's stay during his exile journey.
