Borgo Fornari Castle, Medieval castle in Ronco Scrivia, Italy.
The stone fortress contains defensive walls and a central tower positioned on elevated terrain in the Ligurian countryside near Genoa.
Built in 1121, the castle served as a strategic outpost to control the road connecting the region to the Genoese territory of Voltaggio.
The structure represents medieval military architecture of the Genoa region and maintains its status as an Italian national heritage monument.
The castle ruins can be reached by following the highway signs to Ronco Scrivia and taking local roads through Borgo Fornari village.
The surviving tower stands as a territorial marker visible from multiple points in the valley, documenting centuries of regional defensive systems.
