Barbaresco Castle (Italian: Castello di Barbaresco), also known as Palazzo Galleani, is a castle located in Barbaresco, Piedmont, Italy.
History
[edit]After belonging to the Marquises of Montferrat and the Visconti, the castle, along with the nearby Barbaresco Tower, eventually passed to the House of Savoy in 1631.[1]
Falling into disrepair, the castle was completely renovated during the Baroque period, taking on the appearance of a grand noble residence, except for the still-visible corner turrets that characterize it— the last remaining trace of its former military function.[1]
