Castello di Momeliano

The stone fortress displays a U-shaped layout with four towers, including one round and three square structures integrated into the defensive walls.

The castle, first documented in 1368, changed ownership multiple times, from the Dolzani family through various noble houses including the Lampugnani and Portapuglia families.

The castle represents the architectural evolution from medieval military defense to Renaissance residential refinement, evident in its structural modifications over centuries.

The castle maintains its original Ghibelline battlements and features an entrance accessible via the former moat area, now transformed into surrounding parkland.

The castle's eastern section contains 18th-century terraced gardens, a rare architectural element among fortifications in the Piacentino region.
