Castello Anguissola, Medieval castle in Travo, Italy
The castle stands in the center of Travo near the Trebbia River, featuring a square tower and overlapping trilithic windows on its palace walls.
The Malaspina family built the fortress in 1150 to control the Trebbia Valley routes, later transferring to the Anguissola family in the early 13th century.
The Archaeological Museum inside the castle exhibits Neolithic artifacts from Sant'Andrea village and remains from the Temple of Minerva Medica.
The castle functions as both a museum and temporary town hall, offering guided tours and educational programs about regional history.
Count Giacomo Anguissola transformed the military structure into a noble residence in the late 18th century, adding architectural elements rare in Northern Italy.
