Castello di Tortona, Medieval castle in Tortona, Italy
The castle occupies a strategic position on Savo Hill, the highest of seven hills where Tortona was established in ancient times.
The structure evolved from a Ligurian settlement between 8th and 5th century BC into a Roman castrum around 123 BC.
The remaining portal of the Blessed Amadeus IX church represents a connection to Tortona's religious and architectural heritage.
The site now functions as an observation point, offering views across Tortona and the surrounding landscape from its elevated position.
Napoleon Bonaparte ordered the complete demolition of Fort San Vittorio in 1801, leaving only fragments of the original structure.
