Castles around Country of Belluno, palaces and mansions

The area around Country of Belluno is rich in castles, towers, and historic houses, a strong testimony of medieval architecture. A dense network of manors spreads out over the whole area, in the plains, on the gentle hill slopes and perched on rocky mountains, surrounded by vineyards, beech and chestnut woods. Built in strategic positions, they dominate the surrounding valleys, often with mighty crenellated walls and lively interior decorations made on frescoed walls to recall the opulence of the local noble families. Many can be visited, still others used as homes, and still others only ruins as evidence of a glorious past. Discover with Visititaly, the fortresses, the villas, the forts, the historic buildings, the noble residences and all the places linked to culture in the surroundings of Country of Belluno. If you have visited a castle and would like to share your experience with others, please report it here!

Arsie' - Castles, palaces and mansions

Forte Cima Lan Diroccato

The fort dates back to the beginning of the 20th century and, at the time, worked as part of the Brenta-Cismon defensive system. Because of his geographical position, he never had the chance to be part and be involved in the battles even though there were four cannons inside. In order not to allow enemies to conquer him, he was demolished with explosives. What is currently left of the fort is only the wall of the moat and some 'hidden' ruins in the middle of a large green forest.
