Castle of Ravarano, Medieval castle in Calestano, Italy.
The stone castle features two rectangular sections on a steep hill overlooking the Baganza Valley, with fortified walls and decorative sandstone portals.
The fortress, built in the early 11th century by the Municipality of Parma, protected the territory from invasions from Lunigiana region until 1214.
The castle walls witnessed the proclamation of the Valley Statutes in 1444, granting centuries of governmental autonomy to the feudal vassals.
The castle stands at 686 meters above sea level and contains a 17th-century well bearing the Pallavicino family coat of arms in its courtyard.
Local tales tell of a guardian ghost wandering through the castle halls, protecting a mysterious treasure chest filled with riches.
