Castle of Calice al Cornoviglio, Medieval fortification in Calice al Cornoviglio, Italy
Castle of Calice al Cornoviglio is a medieval fortification located on elevated terrain in Liguria. The structure combines defensive walls with residential rooms that were added as the fortress evolved into a family home.
The structure was built in 1033 as a military stronghold and later became home to several noble families. The modifications made over time show how it transitioned from purely defensive needs to residential comfort.
The castle displays rooms that reveal how noble families lived and governed across generations. Visitors can observe the spaces where daily life and administrative decisions took place.
The site requires climbing stairs to reach the castle at the top of the slope. Limited parking is available in the nearby village, so arriving early helps secure a spot.
A dedicated museum in the basement displays beekeeping tools and knowledge from the region's long history with honey production. This collection reveals how the castle connected to the daily activities of its surrounding community.
