Monticelli d’Ongina Castle, Medieval castle in Monticelli d'Ongina, Italy
The quadrangular castle stands with four cylindrical towers at each corner and features a wide moat surrounding its brick structure.
Constructed in 1450 for Marchese Rolando Pallavicino Magnifico, the castle later passed to the Casali family in the sixteenth century.
The castle chapel contains fifteenth-century ceiling frescoes painted by Bonifacio and Benedetto Bembo from Cremona.
The castle houses multiple museums, including the Ethnographic Museum of the Po River, Archaeological Museum, and Po Aquarium in its basement.
Local stories tell of Giuseppina's ghost, a young woman murdered by a rejected suitor, appearing near the castle walls.
