Castello di Felina, Tower in Felina, Castelnovo ne' Monti, Italy

Castello di Felina is a stone tower in Felina, Italy. The structure rises from the landscape with the solid design typical of medieval defensive architecture.

The castle probably dates from the 12th century; by 1664 only its tower still stood. In the 15th-century conflict between Parma and the Este, Muzio Attendolo Sforza had the head of the Parmesan noble Ottobuono de' Terzi impaled here in 1409. The walls lay in ruins by 1491, and the tower, damaged by the 1920 earthquake, was restored seven years later and dedicated to the fallen of the First World War.

Locals call the tower "Salame di Felina" for its tall, slender shape. It stands in the Parco della Rimembranza, a pine wood named after the fallen of the First World War, with a chapel, a clock and two bells engraved with the names of the dead and the 1918 Bollettino della Vittoria.

The tower stands in the countryside and can be viewed from the outside. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes as the surrounding terrain is rural and sometimes uneven.

Local legend holds that the fortress once had a secret passage running through a well and a long tunnel to the neighbouring Castello delle Carpinete. No trace of it has been found, and the story is not confirmed by documents.
