Cairo Montenotte Castle, Medieval fortress in Cairo Montenotte, Italy.
The castle stands on elevated ground in Cairo Montenotte, featuring stone walls and architectural elements from different construction periods throughout its existence.
The Del Carretto family controlled this strategic fortification in the 13th century until 1214 when the castle was transferred to Genoese control.
The castle structure represents the military architecture of medieval Liguria and serves as a research subject for scholars studying Italian fortification systems.
Visitors can reach the castle by following the marked path from Cairo Montenotte's town center, with parking available at the base of the hill.
The castle's position offers views of the Val Bormida valley and contains underground passages that connected it to other defensive positions in the area.
