Castle of Arceto, Medieval castle in Scandiano, Italy.
The Castle of Arceto rises above an elliptical moat with a central courtyard featuring classical architectural elements and a monumental staircase from 1750.
The fortress first appeared in Nonantola records from 883 and received imperial recognition when Otto I granted it to the Bishops of Reggio Emilia in 962.
The Oratory of Saint Rocco, constructed in 1570 by the Marquis of Thiene, stands within the castle courtyard as a testament to religious traditions.
The castle lies 3 kilometers from central Scandiano, accessible via the A1 motorway Reggio Emilia exit followed by the SS467 ringroad toward Scandiano-Sassuolo.
The restoration project completed in 2000 incorporated traditional terra cotta tiles matching the original medieval flooring patterns and materials.
