Suardi Castle

Although there are no exact dates about the time the castle was built, inscriptions from the year 1233 can be found in the castle. A 25-meter tower is the largest building in the castle. The castle never served as a noble residence, but rather to safely store the farmers' income and to conduct trade. The main road to the surrounding towns was also secured in this way.
