Castello Malaspina dal Verme

Castello Malaspina dal Verme is a fascinating castle dating back to the 14th century that hides extraordinary stories and legends.

Built in 1304 by Corradino Malaspina, it has seen many changes of owners, including the Dal Verme family. According to local legends, the southeast tower housed a terrifying 'pit of blades' where convicts preferred a quick death to a slow agony in the dungeon.

The castle's courtyard offers a picturesque view of Bobbio and the surrounding mountains. For just €2, adults can explore the mysteries of the place, where it is said that ghosts can still be found walking the walls.
