Italian Castles

Fenis - Turin

Construction began on Fenis Castle in 1242, but it took nearly 100 years for it to be completed. This medieval stronghold features many towers, a projecting parapet, and beautiful , notched merlons along the castle walls.

This castle has a very impressive air about it-seeming nearly impregnable. It has an unusual, pentagon-shaped perimeter, and this castle is famous for its displays of medieval murals and other art.
