Castello di Rossena, Medieval castle in Canossa, Italy
Castello di Rossena rises on a rocky hill in the Emilia-Romagna region, featuring two watchtowers and 21 rooms across multiple levels.
Built around 1150, the castle served as a strategic defense point to protect the nearby Canossa stronghold, located approximately two kilometers away.
The castle interior contains frescoes from the 17th and 18th centuries, along with ceramic friezes influenced by Dutch art from the 19th century.
The castle functions as a hostel with 54 beds and hosts conferences, ceremonies, and seminars throughout the year for visitors from across Italy.
The castle windows provide views of surrounding hills and include terraces that medieval soldiers used as patrol points for territorial defense.
