Castello di Borgonovo, Medieval fortress in Borgonovo Val Tidone, Italy.

The castle features a trapezoidal structure with three corner towers and stands on elevated ground overlooking the Val Tidone valley.

The original construction dates to 1150, followed by multiple destructions and reconstructions, including attacks by Pavesi forces in 1215.

The interior contains decorated ceilings and frescoes from the 17th and 18th centuries, representing the artistic preferences of successive noble families.

Visitors can access the castle exclusively through guided tours arranged by Atlante Turismo, which include the internal courtyard and historical rooms.

The castle grounds include a 1.3-kilometer tree-lined avenue created specifically for Maria Luigia d'Austria's visit in 1832.
