Lardirago Castle, Medieval castle in Lardirago, Italy.
Lardirago Castle is a medieval fortress featuring a rectangular layout organized around a central courtyard. The structure is defined by a columned portico with pointed arches and a substantial defensive tower positioned at one corner.
The fortress was built during the first half of the 14th century under Visconti rule. In 1569, Pope Pius V transferred its feudal rights to Collegio Ghislieri, a Jesuit educational institution.
The castle contains a permanent exhibition about the area's past and local traditions. This collection helps visitors understand how the region developed over time.
The fortress now operates as an event venue and conference center available for private functions. Access depends on scheduled hours and prior arrangements may be required for visits.
The rectangular tower displays an uncommon sawtooth pattern carved into its cornice, reflecting Visconti building techniques. This architectural feature is rarely seen and often goes unnoticed by casual visitors.
