Castello di Ivrea

Ivrea (TO)

AM Piedmont and Aosta Valley

The Ivrea Castle, the city's historical symbol famous for its three towers, is an imposing manor built in 1358 at the behest of Amedeo VI of Savoy. Perfectly restored, the castle welcomes visitors with guided tours that wind through courtyards, ancient cells and patrol walkways, from which one can enjoy a breathtaking view of the city and the Morainic Amphitheatre.

Ampio cortile interno di un castello medievale con alte pareti in pietra e mattoni, finestre inferriate e una torre merlata dietro.

Located in the historical heart of Ivrea in a dominant position over the city, the Red-towered castle - as Giosuè Carducci called it - was built in the 1358 at the behest of Amadeus VI of Savoy. Once the scene of political events and sumptuous medieval festivities, the building still retains its proud character as a defensive fortress.

A true symbol of the city, the castle is famous for its three-tower profilethe fourth, originally intended as an ammunition depot, remained in fact severed in 1676 due to a violent explosion.

Today, after a long period of closure and a major restoration work curated by the Municipality of Ivrea, the manor house once again reveals its history. The guided tours allow you to explore the large courtyard, the cells from the period when it was used as a prison and, for the first time ever, to climb the patrol walkways, hitherto never open to the public.
