Castello di Castellamonte, Medieval castle in Castellamonte, Italy

The castle complex consists of four buildings arranged around an access road, with a fifteenth-century gate tower marking the entrance point.

The original fortress, documented since 1066, underwent reconstruction in the early 1400s after its destruction during the Canavese war between 1383 and 1387.

The castle belonged to the Castellamonte family, descendants of Arduino, Marquis of Ivrea and King of Italy, who divided into multiple branches controlling 271 jurisdictions.

The castle stands at Strada del Castello 4 in Castellamonte, featuring the Palazzo Bianco building and the Red Tower with neo-Gothic battlements.

Seven gates punctuated the original defensive walls that descended from the hilltop castle toward the plain, connecting the road between Cuorgnè and Ivrea.
