Castello di Monte Ursino
Italy, Italy
Castello di Monte Ursino is a medieval fortress overlooking the coastal town of Noli in Liguria, Italy.
Perched on a hilltop, it was developed between the 10th and 15th centuries to protect the town, monitor sea routes, and control important inland roads. The castle played a key role in the defense of Noli and was closely linked to the powerful Del Carretto family. The fortress is characterized by its imposing central tower, strong defensive walls, and a system of fortifications that once extended down the hillside to surround and protect the settlement below.
Much of this medieval structure remains visible today, making it one of the best-preserved examples of defensive architecture in western Liguria. Today, Castello di Monte Ursino is a popular historic attraction known for its panoramic views of Noli and the Ligurian Sea. Visitors can explore the restored remains, learn about the region’s medieval history, and enjoy one of the most scenic viewpoints along the Italian Riviera.
