Corte Ghirardina, Traditional courtyard farmstead in Motteggiana, Italy.
The Corte Ghirardina consists of a central structure with two connected wings forming an extensive facade along the agricultural property.
Built under the supervision of architect Luca Fancelli from 1470 to 1477, the farmstead was commissioned by Ludovico Gonzaga to manage trade and agriculture.
The architectural design combines elements of a palace, court, villa, and castle, representing the agricultural traditions of northern Italian estates.
Located at coordinates 45.038234 latitude and 10.764027 longitude, the property continues to serve residential and agricultural functions in modern times.
A tunnel reportedly connected the farmstead to the parish church of San Girolamo, suggesting strategic importance beyond agricultural purposes.
