Castle of Burio, Medieval fortress in Costigliole d'Asti, Italy.

The stone castle rises on a hill at the confluence of Tinella and Nizza streams, surrounded by vineyards and agricultural fields.

The castle passed through several noble families including Pelletta, Asinari, Schiara, Malabaila, Roero, and Cacherano d'Osasco until the Lanzavecchia counts in 1916.

The castle structure reflects the architectural style of the Asti-Monferrato region, featuring two towers and a drawbridge similar to Milan's Sforza Castle.

The castle participates in the 'Castelli Aperti' circuit of Lower Piedmont, allowing visitors to explore this historical structure during cultural events.

According to local records, in 1617 the castle residents successfully expelled a Tyrolean military company after a two-day siege during Franco-Spanish conflicts.
