Category: Castles

The historical hamlet of Mombasiglio is dominated by an ancient castle, the construction of which dates back to the year 1000. The four-storey castle is surrounded by a park where one can admire a splendid 360 degree view over the valleys. On the castle’s ground floor, several rooms have recently been marked for restoration, while on the first floor is the Napoleonic Museum with mementos and prints from the drawings and watercolors commissioned by Napoleon himself in 1802 from the landscape artist, Giuseppe Pietro Bageti, to commemorate the battles fought on Italian soil during the Italian Campaign.
