Bardi — Castello
Emilia-Romagna
Bardi's castle appears to grow directly out of the red jasper outcrop it stands on, one of the most dramatic natural-and-built silhouettes in the Val Ceno. The climb through the small stone village below gives changing angles on the fortress, with wooded Apennine ridges stretching away on every side.
