Castle of Soncino, Medieval fortress in Soncino, Italy.
The Castle of Soncino features four towers, three square and one round, along with battlements and a moat surrounding its perimeter.
Construction of the fortress began in 1473 under Francesco Sforza's rule, serving as a strategic defense point between Milan and the Venetian Republic.
The castle houses decorated rooms with frescoes by Bernardino Gatti and Vincenzo Campi, commissioned by the Stampa family during the 16th century.
The fortress remains open to visitors who can explore the courtyard, climb the towers, and walk through the underground passages.
The Castellan's tower contains a hidden escape route that leads from the castle's ditch directly to the surrounding fields.
