Montecuccolo Castle is a wonderful and majestic well-preserved castle that is worth visiting.
Its history begins at the time of Matilda of Canossa, when a family of her vassals obtained the investiture of the fiefdom in 1116 from Emperor Henry V and built a tower and a first palace on this hill at the beginning of the 12th century. After a long struggle with other local feudal lords, the Montecuccoli, who emerged victorious, expanded the fortress which took on its current appearance between the 15th and 17th centuries, with the addition of the new palace, the square tower and the podesteria.
The castle offers a beautiful view of the sunset from its terrace located in the rear entrance, where the restaurant is also located.
A curious fact about the castle is that it houses the highest balsamic vinegar cell in the world, at an altitude of 873 metres.
