Cortazzone Castle
Address: Via del Castello, 4, 14010 Cortazzone AT, Italia
Cortazzone and its castle were severely damaged by the French in 1706, during the War of the Spanish Succession (that of Pietro Micca's sacrifice).
Of the medieval castle, (privately owned since the 18th century and still belonging to the same family or heirs) rebuilt in the 1700s/800s, the ancient square tower and sections of the walls, with traces of Guelph battlements, still exist.
