Lierna Castle, Medieval castle in Lierna, Italy.
The castle stands on a peninsula extending into Lake Como, featuring connected buildings constructed with stone and mortar at 201 meters elevation.
Built in the 10th century upon Roman ruins, the fortress played a crucial role in the conflicts between Milan and Como until 1124.
The castle houses the 11th-century church of Saints Maurice and Lazarus, where Emmanuel-Philibert of Savoy established the dynastic order in 1573.
The castle functions as both a private residence and a public museum, allowing visitors to explore sections of the restored medieval structure.
A bronze bell within the castle bears the emblem of the Royal House of Italy, marking its connection to historical Italian nobility.
