Ponti sul Mincio Castle, Medieval castle in Ponti sul Mincio, Italy.
The castle features robust stone walls with ghibelline merlons, walkways supported by brick corbels, and multiple defense towers along its perimeter.
The Scaliger family constructed this fortress between the 12th and 14th centuries as part of their defensive network against Visconti and Gonzaga territories.
The castle represents a prime example of northern Italian military architecture, with its structure adapting to the natural contours of the hilltop.
The fortress provides guided audio tours in Italian, English, and German languages, with access through a single staircase leading to the entrance.
The castle includes a shield tower at its northern point and two C-shaped towers with interior openings positioned along its defensive walls.
