Castello di Moasca

3D Model

It was the summer of 1308 when, after 22 days of siege, the soldiers of the Guelph families broke into the castle of Moasca, the last outpost of the De Castellos, Ghibelline nobles. Shortly afterwards, this already ancient manor was destroyed and memory of its forms and style was lost. Only in 1351 did work begin on its reconstruction. Made more comfortable over time, in the 19th century the interior of the castle was divided into two floors: the second used as a granary, the first as a home, and underneath the large cellar connected to the deep tunnels used as cells. The ruin of the castle is recent: only after the war did complete abandonment produce rapid and irreversible degradation. In recent years, however, careful restoration work has prevented Moasca from losing the symbol of its history and identity forever.
