Vigoleno Castle, Medieval castle in Vernasca, Italy.
The fortified castle features tall stone walls with Ghibelline merlons, a central tower, and defensive structures positioned on a hilltop location.
Initially constructed in the tenth century, the castle received its first documented mention in 1141 as a strategic outpost on the route to Parma.
The Romanesque Church of San Giorgio within the castle grounds contains medieval frescoes depicting religious scenes that visitors can illuminate with coins.
Entry tickets cost 5 euros and include access to the castle tower, with separate parking areas available before entering the village complex.
The castle produces Vin Santo di Vigoleno, a regional dessert wine that ranks among the finest sweet wines in Italy.
