Rocca di Montalfeo, Medieval fortress in Godiasco Salice Terme, Italy.

The stone fortress stands at 350 meters above sea level on a hill overlooking the Staffora Valley entrance to the plains.

The fortress belonged to the Malaspina family of Godiasco, confirmed by Frederick I in 1164 and Henry VI in 1191.

The central hall features a coffered ceiling and frescoed walls, representing architectural elements from different historical periods.

The castle remains open for special events and weddings, with dedicated parking spaces available for visitors near the entrance.

The fortress controlled both the Lombard salt route and access to the sea, working in conjunction with nearby Nazzano Castle.
