From the top of the hill, it overlooks the Mincio valley and Valeggio, maintaining the majestic effect of the medieval fortifications.

The oldest part was almost completely destroyed by an earthquake in 1117 and only a horseshoe-shaped construction remains, called “Round Tower”, of the 10th century.  The rest of the castle dates back to the 14th century: it was equipped with three drawbridges of which only one has been preserved.
In summer, the inner courtyard becomes a stage for the events of the Summer Festival.

The courtyard is open everyday from 10 am to 7 pm.

The Towers are open from late March to the end of October on Saturday, Sunday and holidays from 10 am to 1 pm and from 3 pm to 6 pm.

Towers admittance: adults euros 2.50; children under 13 years old free.
