Santa Margherita Ligure castel
santa Margherita Ligure
BRIEF DESCRIPTION
The castle is located in the centre of the village. It was built in 1550 to defend the village from incursions by Ottoman pirates. Its design, by Antonio de Càrabo, anticipated that of Rapallo Castle, which was built the following year for the same purpose. During its first two centuries, the castle underwent various modifications, but over time it felt into disuse and was abandoned. After being restored at the end of the First World War, it was dedicated to the fallen of the conflict.
THIS PLACE IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE
The castle has become a landmark for the history of the city, but also a venue for cultural events, concerts and activities involving the community. Among these is a space designed to host exhibitions and projects by local artists. Climbing up to the roof terrace you can admire the breathtaking 360-degree view.
