Castello di Formigine, Medieval castle in Formigine, Italy.
The castle combines a thirteenth-century military fortification with a Renaissance palace, featuring two main towers and polygonal defensive walls.
The Council of Modena constructed the initial fortified nucleus in 1250, which later expanded under the Pio family during the fifteenth century.
The Multimedia Archaeological Museum presents local history through digital installations created by Studio Azzurro of Milan inside the castle walls.
The castle functions as a municipal center with a tourist office, wedding hall, council chamber, and restaurant serving regional cuisine.
The clock tower rises 30 meters high and contains a bell mechanism from 1524 that continues to mark time for the town.
