Castello di Lenta, Medieval castle and monastery in Lenta, Italy.
The Castello di Lenta features square-shaped walls measuring 85 meters on each side, constructed with cobblestones arranged in herringbone patterns and stone battlements.
The castle gained fortification in 1178 under Palatino Avogadro's rule, serving as both a defensive structure and home to the Benedictine Women's Monastery of St. Peter.
The castle walls contain preserved 15th-century terracotta decorations and architectural elements that demonstrate the artistic techniques of medieval Italian craftsmanship.
The castle structure, currently owned by the municipality, remains closed to visitors while awaiting restoration work to preserve its historical elements.
The eastern section of the castle maintains its original square tower and multiple window openings embedded within the medieval stone walls.
