Heritage
A Living Monument to Italian History
Castello di Fighine was first documented in 1058 in relation to the Pieve of Santa Maria de Fighine. It was formally named in a 1266 edict when Emperor Frederick of Swabia granted it to the Viscount of Campiglia. Over the following centuries the castle passed through various noble families and military commanders, contested and reconquered by competing powers.
