Very beautiful, old castle!

The castle of Monticelli d'Ongina - or Rocca Pallavicino-Casali - is a fortified complex, one of the most impressive existing in the plain, located in the historic center of the municipality of Monticelli d'Ongina. Built entirely of brick, with the typical structure of Piacenza plain castles, it has a quadrangular plan with an internal courtyard, with four cylindrical towers protruding from the corners, raised above the line of the curtains.

A small town of few inhabitants with a beautiful castle still intact, I leave you a link to learn more about architectural and historical details. https://www.lombardiabeniculturali.it/architetture/schede/LO620-00041/

Small municipality famous for the presence of a fortress of the Pallavicino family. A quiet place that is worth a stop to visit.

[Lombardy Cultural Heritage] This farmhouse can be included, like many of the buildings scattered in the Castelverde countryside, among the fortified agricultural buildings. And it is, among these, one of the most curious, if not its structure, completely traditional, certainly for the fairy-tale taste of the romantic additions, with their reference to a fictional Middle Ages. It is nineteenth-century neo-castellan architecture.

Pallavicina court

The history of Caselle Landi is particular as it was originally on the right bank of the Po, then towards the end of the 1500s it was moved to the left bank following the canalization of the Po bend. There are two castles both the work of the Landi family, feudal lords local. The first called the old castle, from the second half of the 1200s and the second, called the new castle, from the 1600s

From the Lombardy Region website: The large courtyard farmhouse, probably from the eighteenth century, has undergone a reworking of the main entrance, and probably of the corner towers, in neo-castellan forms (and therefore of a frank romantic character) towards the beginning of the nineteenth century, perhaps by the architect Voghera. The partial transformation, incongruous from a historical and functional point of view, however, falls fully within the context of nineteenth-century Neo-Castellan architecture, which had exceptional examples such as the castle of Costigliole, in Piedmont, and which it found in the Cremona area, thanks above all to the passionate work of the architect Voghera, a wide diffusion.
