Castello Saint-Germain, Medieval castle in Montjovet, Italy.
The castle stands at 656 meters elevation on a rocky promontory, featuring a 19-meter central tower surrounded by 200-meter defensive walls.
The De Mongioveto family built the castle between the 11th and 12th centuries to collect tolls from travelers passing through the valley.
The fortress architecture displays the evolution of military construction techniques from medieval times through the Renaissance period in the Aosta Valley.
The castle ruins remain closed to visitors due to safety concerns regarding potential structural collapses of the ancient fortification.
The castle location, known as Mons Jovis during Roman times, served as a communication point using signal systems across the valleys.
