Andora Castle, Medieval castle in Andora, Italy
The fortress stands on a hill in the Merula River valley, featuring defensive towers and walls overlooking the Ligurian coast and Via Aurelia.
The Republic of Genoa purchased the castle from the Marquis of Clavesana in 1215, transforming it into a residence for Genoese mayors until the French Revolution.
The castle complex includes the Saints Philip and James Romanesque church, representing one of Western Liguria's principal architectural monuments from medieval times.
Visitors can reach the castle ruins by walking two kilometers from the city center, following signs that lead through the old quarter of Andora.
The gate tower, built in 1220, stands parallel to the church and maintains its original structure despite nineteenth-century modifications.
