Castelbello Castle, first mentioned in 1238 but likely of earlier origin, was built by the Lords of Montalban. The picturesque castle sits majestically on a mighty rocky outcrop on the left bank of the Adige River. The elongated complex measures over 70 meters in length and barely 30 meters in width. Due to its exposed location, Castelbello Castle had to be repeatedly protected over the years by the construction of more modern and stronger fortifications. After changing hands several times, the castle was transferred to the Hendl family as a pledge in 1531. In 1813 and 1824, the castle was largely destroyed by fire. The Hendl counts rebuilt only a small part for residential purposes, and thus the castle was destined to fall into ruin. At the end of a legal process that dragged on for decades, in which Count Siegmund von Hendl and the Republic of Italy fought for ownership of the castle, a settlement was finally reached: this enabled the state to purchase the castle for 31,068 lire (16.04 €).

The Milla and the quarry trail, immediately following, are a must. The journey to the starting point is quite long.
