Verrès — Castello
Aosta Valley
Verrès' castle is a single massive stone cube with almost no ornamentation, built for pure defensive strength rather than comfort, standing on a rocky spur above the town where the Dora Baltea and Evançon rivers meet. The plain, powerful silhouette is visible from much of the lower valley.
