To live in Upper castle

It communes with the Castello Inferiore (Lower Castle) and dominates the walled town. Built on an older tower of which there are records as far back as the 1200s, the castle is very likely to date back to the Seigniory of Cansignorio della Scala (1340-1375), a great builder of Scaligeri defensive structures. Although the castle is now largely in ruins, it originally had a solid structure with four angle towers and a tall keep, of which there remain some wall fragments. Most of the wall on the southern side is also in ruins. The stone coat of arms representing a scala (ladder), inserted on the façade of the ravelin at the entrance gate overlooking the flat land, bears witness to the Scaligeri ownership of the fortress over the centuries. Thanks to the restoration performed in 1934-1936, the castle recovered its bertesca (wall mounted turret), on top of the ravelin at the entrance, on the façade that overlooks the Piazza Castello square and the Lower Castle.

The Upper Castle is currently closed.
Only open in special circumstances with prior notice.
