Malaspina Castle, Medieval castle in Varzi, Italy.
Malaspina Castle stands on elevated terrain with massive stone walls, defensive towers, and architectural elements dating from the Middle Ages.
The castle, first documented in 1164, was constructed by the Malaspina family as a strategic fortification along important trade routes through the region.
The fortress maintains regular exhibitions of local artifacts and historical documents that showcase the development of the Oltrepò Pavese territory.
Guided tours of the castle operate Tuesday through Sunday, with advance reservations required for weekend visits and an entrance fee of 5 euros.
The castle contains an underground network of passages that connected different sections of the fortress, enabling quick movement during times of conflict.
