Discover the timeless charm of the Malaspina Castle of Varzi, an imposing medieval fortress overlooking the historic village. Among centuries-old walls and evocative frescoes, you can immerse yourself in the history of the Marquises Malaspina, explore the ancient halls and the private wing, with several rooms that preserve period furnishings and an archive of ancient and precious documents.

The architecture of the Castle shows three souls in three nuclei: the oldest dating back to the 13th century, a second building attributable to the 15th century and a third from the 1700s. The tower dating back to the 12th century, built to connect the village of Varzi with the Castle of Oramala, was used as a prison for a long time. In 1460, during the period of the Inquisition, 25 women accused of witchcraft were imprisoned here and then killed: for this reason it is also called the “Witches’ Tower”. It is now owned and managed by the municipality while remaining linked to the history of the Castle.
