Castle of Borgo Val di Taro, Medieval fortress in Borgo Val di Taro, Italy.
The Castle of Borgo Val di Taro stands at the intersection of three regions: Emilia Romagna, Tuscany, and Liguria in the Apennine mountains.
The fortress belonged to the influential Landi family until the late 16th century when Ottavio Farnese seized control following a failed assassination plot.
The castle's position along the Via Francigena pilgrimage route from Canterbury to Rome made it a crucial waypoint for medieval travelers and merchants.
Parts of the original castle walls remain visible within the historical center of Borgo Val di Taro, alongside the 13th-century Romanesque church of Sant'Antonino.
The castle grounds offer views of the Val di Taro valley, which stretches 126 kilometers from Monte Penna to its confluence with the Po River.
