St Andreas Tower 위쪽 돌출부와 Monterosso의 두 부분 사이에 Castello의 유적이 있습니다. 리구리아인들은 친절하게도 성 부지에 묘지를 지었습니다... 이상하지만 흥미롭습니다. 제비꼬리 모양의 흉벽이 있는 성벽 일부, 2개의 모퉁이 탑, 오래된 경제 건물 일부가 여전히 남아 있으며 그 한가운데에 묘지가 있습니다... 돌출부에는 둥근 감시탑이 하나 더 있습니다. 모두 유네스코 세계문화유산의 일부입니다.

Levanto Castle was a defensive building located between Salita San Giorgio and Salita al Castello in the southern part of the historic center of Levanto, in the province of La Spezia. The site is part of the town's ancient walls. HISTORY: According to some historical sources, the existence of a defensive building in the then Levanto village was documented and confirmed as early as 1165, during the Malaspina rule in the area. Around the 13th century, a document attests to its presence under the name "Castello di Monale." The current building, however, dates back to the rule of the Republic of Genoa, and therefore to the second half of the 16th century[1], perhaps a reconstruction from scratch on the site of the pre-existing medieval castle; the reconstruction of the town's old walls is documented. With the creation of the Captaincy of Levanto in 1637, it served as the temporary seat of the Captain and, subsequently, as a prison until the fall of the Genoese Republic under Napoleonic rule in 1797. In the second half of the 19th century, it was sold to the state and, after conservative restoration between the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, it remains privately owned today.

Cinque Terre is the name given to five neighboring communities on the Italian Riviera. These coastal villages are known for their colorful houses, cliffs, vineyards, and charming restaurants and cafés! The towns are easily accessible by train or boat.

Overlooking the city, to the south of the town, connected on one side to the church of S. Andrea and on the other to the small city port, along two splendid walks, stands the castle of Levanto, of which there is evidence thanks to an initial document dating back to 1165, when the building belonged to the Malaspina family. Further documentary confirmation of the construction, there called the castle of Monale, dates back to the following century. The current appearance of the fortification dates back to the second half of the 16th century, most likely the work of the Genoese; in this period the ancient walls were also renovated, still accessible today in some sections. When, in 1637, the headquarters of the Captaincy of the Republic of Genoa was placed in Levanto, the castle became the residence of the Captain; subsequently used as a prison, it fell into disuse after the capitulation of the Genoese Republic itself in 1797. During the 19th century, the public domain ceded it to private individuals - to whom it still belongs - while the various renovation cycles that brought it to its current shape date back to between the 19th and 20th centuries. Architecturally simple, the fortification consists of a circular-based tower and four quadrangular-shaped walls. North-east façadeThe external patrol walkways, embellished with Ghibelline-style battlements in the tower part and Guelph-style battlements in the body part, are supported by round brick arches based on corbels in sandstone typical of the area.

This mini park is accessible from the strada delle gallerie. Unfortunately, it is quite dirty, but it nestles with pretty views and an interesting stair access on the sea side as a good vantage point on the south-eastern hill of the Bay of Moneglia. It's worth a detour and a welcome break from the town center on a stormy day in Moneglia.

The original tower is part of the medieval city wall of Levanto around 1200. It served to protect against the Pisans.
