Castello di Villanova, Medieval castle in Cassolnovo, Italy.
The Castello di Villanova features a square layout with a central courtyard surrounded by four corner towers and an entrance tower with drawbridge foundations.
The fortress underwent significant modifications in 1455 under the Sanseverino family, followed by alterations during the reign of Ludovico il Moro and the Gonzaga family.
Two large marble busts from the late Roman period stand at the entrance of the castle, known locally as 'DuCamoru', representing ancient artistic heritage.
The castle contains wooden balconies overlooking the inner courtyard and retains an original water pump system that served the needs of past inhabitants.
The exterior walls once displayed decorative patterns of white and red rhomboids, a distinctive architectural element that characterized the castle's appearance until recent decades.
