    The castle is located in a charming position. Visit by appointment, it has a free park with benches and is an excellent viewpoint. A little below there is a fountain and on the street nearby there is a bar

    Rossena Castle is a splendid medieval fortress located in the municipality of Canossa, in the province of Reggio Emilia, considered one of the best-preserved strongholds in the entire Matildic area. Built around 960 by Count Adalberto Atto (great-grandfather of Matilde di Canossa), it stands on a striking outcrop of reddish volcanic rock and originally arose as an impregnable war machine to defend the nearby and main Castle of Canossa.
