Castello di Rossino, Medieval castle in Calolziocorte, Italy.
The castle rises on a promontory at the foot of Mount Resegone, displaying five preserved towers and overlooking the southern branch of Lake Como.
Built around 1200, the castle served as a stronghold for the Benaglio family, who controlled Val San Martino, before passing to the Rota family.
The castle influenced literature as Alessandro Manzoni chose it as the setting for the Innominato's residence in his novel The Betrothed.
The castle functions year-round as an event venue with heated rooms and maintains gardens that visitors can access from spring through fall.
The structure retains five of its original six towers, with one converted into a nineteenth-century manor while maintaining its medieval character.
