Castello di Proh, Medieval castle in Briona, Italy.

The rectangular castle features two circular towers at its corners and stands at the base of the Novara hills in the Piedmont region.

Francesco Sforza ordered the construction of this castle in the mid-15th century, following the destruction of an earlier fortress in 1362.

The building's south-western tower displays a faded triptych of Madonna with Child and the Cattaneo family coat of arms.

The Fondazione UniversiCà manages the castle, offering guided tours and organizing special events throughout the year for group visits.

The castle grounds include an educational botanical garden with interactive signage and cultural pathways through the rural park.
