Castello della Rotta, Medieval castle in Moncalieri, Italy.

The castle features a square layout with a central courtyard, underground chambers, stables, storage areas, and a commanding watchtower overlooking the Banna stream.

Built in the fourth century to protect the bridge over Banna torrent, the castle changed ownership between Romans, Lombards, and Knights of Malta throughout centuries.

Archaeological excavations at the site revealed multiple human remains, including a knight buried alongside his horse during the fifteenth or sixteenth century.

The castle stands as a private residence on the outskirts of Turin, visible from surrounding hills but closed to public access.

Local records document unexplained events within the castle walls, including reported sightings of armored knights and hooded priests every June 13th.
