Castle of Santo Stefano d'Aveto, Medieval castle in Santo Stefano d'Aveto, Italy.
The stone fortress rises on Piazza Domenico Livellara with four angular bastions defining its perimeter at coordinates 44.547804, 9.451658.
The castle underwent substantial modifications after 1547 when Antonio Doria acquired it following the Fieschi conspiracy against Genoa's power.
The structure represents the architectural evolution from a basic defensive tower to a noble residence through centuries of different family ownerships.
Visitors can reach the castle by traveling 75 kilometers northeast of Genoa through the Ligurian Apennines to Santo Stefano d'Aveto.
The original tower measured 48 palm trees in diameter with walls between 12 to 14 feet thick according to 1548 documentation.
