Castello di Carpineti, Medieval fortress in Carpineti, Italy
The castle features defensive stone walls, quadrangular towers, and a trapezoidal design positioned on Mount Antognano overlooking the Secchia and Tresinaro valleys.
Built before 1077, the fortress served as a residence for Countess Matilda di Canossa, who held important meetings with Pope Gregory VII following events at Canossa.
The castle complex includes the Church of Sant'Andrea, consecrated in 1117, and a chapel dedicated to St. Mary Announced within its second circle of walls.
Recent restoration work from 1990 to 1999 has preserved the castle ruins, making them accessible for visitors to explore the medieval architecture.
The castle contains a rare apsidal chamber functioning as the main entrance, constructed with precisely squared stone blocks forming a circular tower configuration.
