Castel Beseno is a medieval fortress located in the province of Trento, in northern Italy. The castle is perched on a rocky spur overlooking the Adige Valley, and it dates back to the 13th century. Throughout the centuries, it was expanded and modified by various rulers, including the Scaligeri family of Verona and the Habsburgs. The castle played an important role in defending the region, and it was also used as a prison during the 19th century. Today, visitors can explore the castle's towers, ramparts, and courtyards, and see its original frescoes, coats of arms, and weapons. The castle also hosts cultural events and exhibitions throughout the year.
