Verrès Castle, located in the town of Verrès in the Aosta Valley of Italy, is a striking medieval fortress perched on a rocky spur overlooking the Evançon River. Built in the late 14th century by Count Ibleto of Challant, the castle is renowned for its robust and austere square design, which was advanced for its time. Unlike many other castles from the same period, Verrès Castle features a single block structure, emphasizing its defensive capabilities. Visitors to the castle can explore its well-preserved interiors, including the grand hall and living quarters, while enjoying panoramic views of the surrounding valley.
