The Ghio Castle formerly Ripamare Castle in Lavagna
The Ghio Castle formerly Ripamare Castle in Lavagna
Travelling along the Via Aurelia, I had already noticed this fortification near the Tigullio Park for a long time, just before arriving in the city of Lavagna.
So once, armed with my camera, I stopped to photograph it and now I'll introduce it to you too (if you've never seen it).
It is a defensive tower from the mid-16th century that dominates the entire coast.

If you are looking for a nice portal that talks about all of Liguria I invite you to visit the official website of the Region: lamialiguria.it.
If you are looking for some books about the beautiful town of Lavagna I recommend: Intra Siestri e Chiaveri: Adriano V dei Fieschi tra storia e finzione and I Fieschi. Storia di una famiglia. If instead you want to have a guide that talks about Liguria and Tigullio I invite you to see: Genova e il Tigullio by Lonely Planet.

Bellissimo

Mi sono sempre chiesta cosa fosse, però adesso che mi hai descritto che è un castello, devo dire che è molto bello, imponente ed elegante, su là in cima. Grazie
Infatti incuriosiva anche me per quello l’ho fotografato e poi ho approfondito!
Molto bello si.
Una volta era un condominio, poi è stato acquistato (non si sa bene da chi), ma mai abitato. Il sogno di tanti
Esattamente.
Mi zia ha vissuto per 30 anni all’ultimo piano quando ancora era della famiglia Ghio.
Io ci sono stata. All’ ultimo piano abitava mia zia. ❤️
Se non sbaglio fu costruito nel 1567, dotato di cannoni per difenere la città dagli attacchi dei Saraceni, come il castello fortezza di piazza della Libertà alla fine di via Roma demolito nei primi anni del XIX secolo perche in pessime condizioni e per ricavarne pietre per la costruzione delle mura di cinta del cimitero
Lo guardo sempre e non capisco…la fila centrale di finestre non ha le finestre…è tutta aperta
