The castle

Surrounded today by a dense tree-lined park, a sumptuous noble residence more than once chosen by British royalty for a quiet, aristocratic vacation, Rivalta Castle was, in times of the past, one of the most important military bulwarks in western Emilia.

IL BORGO DI RIVALTA

A visit to the Borgo di Rivalta starts from the Oratory of the Mary of the Bridge: a building with an unusual octagonal plan carved from a medieval tower that was part of the drawbridge.

THE RIVALTA MUSEUM

The Rivalta Castle Museum is divided into several rooms: of remarkable value are the Japanese armors that arrived at the Castle thanks to the passion of the Count Orazio Zanardi Landi, a lover of objects and weapons of special artistic and historical significance.
