Castle of Romano di Lombardia

Romano Castle has the typical structure that any child would expect from a castle.
Discover its architecture intact and ready to be explored!

Description

Romano Castle has a moat (although now dry), an access bridge, a square plan, high walls, and towers at the corners.

 

It was probably built nearly nine hundred years ago, but was subsequently remodeled repeatedly until the eighteenth century.

 

The present structure still hints at the different styles and owners who succeeded one another over the centuries.
For example, the battlements are mixed, either dovetailed (which indicated membership in the Ghibelline faction) or squared (typical instead of Guelph castles), a clear sign of how the castle was contested by the two warring sides.

 

The walls speak of the tradition of the Po Valley, with their typical red brick construction, which characterizes all fortifications of that era in this land.

 

We then suggest you visit the elegant inner courtyard, decorated with symbols dating back to the period of Venetian rule.
