Castello di Cariseto, Medieval castle in Cerignale, Italy.
The castle stands on a ridge in Val d'Aveto, featuring two circular towers and a central wall structure built upon rocky terrain.
Emperor Henry III granted the castle to the Monastery of San Paolo di Mezzano in 1052, marking the beginning of its documented history.
The Statutes of Cariseto from the 14th century established the rules governing relationships between lords, citizens, and villagers in Val d'Aveto.
The Municipality of Cerignale initiates projects to make the castle structures accessible to visitors, pending future restoration work.
During the Fieschi conspiracy of 1546, castle inhabitants escaped through an underground tunnel leading to the nearby forest.
