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.
