Castello di Briona, Medieval castle in Briona, Italy
The castle stands on elevated ground with a quadrilateral layout, featuring a central tower, chapter house, crypt, and courtyard with vaulted roofing.
First documented in 1140 as property of Guido III de Biandrate, the castle controlled the northwestern road to Novara through strategic positioning.
The castle represents the architectural evolution of Northern Italian fortifications, with structures dating primarily from the 14th and 15th centuries.
Located at Via alla Rocca 6, the castle remains inhabited and maintained by the Solaroli family, descendants of General Paolo Solaroli di Briona.
The courtyard displays an architectural arrangement where the roof at first-floor height rests upon vaults supported by a single central pillar.
