Castle, Medieval castle in San Giorio di Susa, Italy
The castle includes a cylindrical tower at the northwest corner and stands on a rocky spur overlooking the middle Susa Valley at 45.128837 latitude.
Built in the 13th century, the castle served as a control point for merchants and armies along the Via Francigena del Moncenisio route for House of Savoy.
The castle hosts the traditional Suppression of the Feudal Lord event on its western esplanade, connecting present-day visitors with medieval history.
The castle now functions as a restaurant-pub while maintaining its original perimeter walls that enclose the great hall and courtyard.
The fortress communicates visually with neighboring castles, including Chianocco and Bruzolo, forming a network of defensive structures in the Susa Valley.
