Sabbionara Castle, Medieval castle in Avio, Italy
The castle complex includes a circuit of towers and crenelated walls positioned on a hill above the Adige River Valley in northern Italy.
Built before 1053, the castle passed through several noble families, including the Castelbarco dynasty who hosted the poet Dante Alighieri during his travels.
The castle displays fourteenth-century Gothic frescoes in multiple rooms, including the Love Room and the Guards House, painted by artists from the Verona school.
Visitors can access the castle from February to December, with standard admission at 8 euros and reduced rates of 5 euros for youth between 6-18 years.
The castle management is split between three entities: FAI manages most areas, the Province of Trent maintains the Guards House, and Castelbarco heirs own the Picadora Tower.
