Castello di Salle, Medieval castle in Salle, Italy.

Castello di Salle has an irregular L-shaped plan, covered by a terrace with a crenellated parapet from which three towers rise. Its inner courtyard holds an Italian garden, and a 16th-century fountain stands before the main entrance. Half of the northeast wing is occupied by the church of Blessed Roberto da Salle, and the north facade has three entrances topped by loopholes.

The fortress was founded before the 11th century as a possession of an abbey and originally served for defense and control of the area. In the 16th century it transformed into a noble residence when wealthy families made it their home.

The castle's north wing holds the Museo Medievale Borbonico, displaying fabrics, weapons, torture instruments, paintings, maps, sacred vestments and old and modern images of Salle. The museum occupies part of the wing that also contains the church of Blessed Roberto da Salle.

Visitors should wear sturdy footwear since the climb to the fortress is steep and paths can be uneven. The museum is well marked, but it pays to move slowly to enjoy all the exhibition details and the views.

The castle's L-shaped plan ends in a terrace with a crenellated parapet, and three towers rise from it. Half of the northeast wing is taken up by the church of Blessed Roberto da Salle, which has two entrances of its own.
