The castle of Costigliole d'Asti, built in medieval times and subject to restoration over the centuries, is an important stage in the "Castelli Aperti" circuit of Lower Piedmont. In 1041, Arrigo III officially conferred possession on the Church of Asti. Subsequently, the castle passed under the authority of Bonifacio del Vasto. In 1198, it was Asti that took possession of the castle, establishing statutory regulations. Built on top of the Costigliole fortress, this mighty quadrangular castle, with a base of 60 meters on each side and a height of 25 meters, is one of the grandest in the Asti area.
At the highest point of Costigliole d'Asti stands the Castle, whose origins date back to the Middle Ages. Over the centuries it has been the scene of many battles and struggles. At each of the four corners of the castle there is a tower and on the facade there are two statues depicting Aurelio and Giorgio Verasis Asinari, the former lords of the castle.
