Castle of Castelnuovo Magra, Medieval castle in Castelnuovo Magra, Italy.
The Castle of Castelnuovo Magra features a pentagonal tower, known as obertenga, and stands on an elevated position overlooking the surrounding Ligurian landscape.
The castle gained prominence in 1306 when Dante Alighieri visited during local power conflicts between bishops and regional authorities in medieval Liguria.
The fortress complex includes the Church of Santa Maria Maddalena, which contains valuable artworks including a reproduction of The Crucifixion by Pieter Brueghel the Younger.
The castle structure serves as a regional cultural center, hosting municipal meetings and community events throughout the year in Castelnuovo Magra.
In 2019, police conducted a successful operation at the castle complex by replacing an original painting with a replica to prevent an attempted art theft.
