BARADELLO CASTLE The castle of Baradello is situated at the extreme southeast border of Spina Verde, in an elevated position which allows is wide view of the valley and the plain, and a strategic place for the control of the territory. Several fortified structures have been built over time. The possibly pre-historical castle (Tito Livio reports the surrender of 28 "castella") also kept its defensive function In the Roman and Byzantine ages, the inner circle of walls dates back to the latter period. During the 10-years war between (1118-1127), the Anonymous Cuman testified to the withdrawal of few inhabitants of Como to the fortified hill. In 1158 Federico Barbarossa authorised the rebuilding enlargement of the castle, where he stayed during military campaign against Milan. In 1176, after the defeat at Legnano, the emperor gave the castle to the Church and the Municipality of Como, recognition of the loyalty shown by the inhabitants of Como In the XII century' it saw the engagement between the Rusca Ghibellines (allied to the Visconti) and the Vitani Guelph (allied to the Della Torre) for the domination of the city. When Rusca prevalled, Napo Dela Torre part of his family were shut in cages and exposed the internal walls of Baradello. During the Visconteo period, tower and wall circle were raised. Between XV and XVI century the caste fell into a progressive state of abandonment which culminated in 1527, when the Spanish imposed the dismantling of the fortification and only the tower was saved.

About a 40 minute walk from the Como Camerlata train station. Which is One stop from the Como main station. The weather was not great when we did the walk with thick clouds and rain. Otherwise the views would have great. Most of the walk was steep, but thankfully very little traffic. The castle has been reduced to its keep. The keep can be accessed for 10 Euro per adult. There are four levels excluding the roof level. Each level had some artefacts on this history of the castle from Roman to medieval times. Our guide was knowledgeable and very happy to answer our questions. The roof would normally have fantastic views to Milan. Well worth the walk and visit.

Simbolo del Parco Spina Verde, sia come costruzione di riferimento che immagine riportata sul logo del parco, il Castello Baradello è una fortificazione militare difensiva e di sorveglianza costruita in età medioevale, ricostruita nel 1158 per volere dell'imperatore Barbarossa dopo la distruzione avvenuta per mano delle milizie milanesi negli anni precedenti. La struttura esterna, ben visibile da ogni angolo della zona di Como, è la torre che vegliava sulla città stessa, alta 28 metri circa e di forma quadrata con lati che misurano 8 metri, circondata da mura di epoca bizantina e varie altre strutture della quale rimane poco o niente, se non le fondamenta. All'interno della torre è stato allestito un museo in cui sono esposti molti reperti archeologici provenienti dai tanti scavi effettuati nei pressi del Baradello, oltre ad un percorso che vi porterà fino in cima ed in cui potrete spiare la città sottostante attraverso le feritoie laterali. È possibile visitare l'interno del castello acquistando il ticket d'ingresso online sul sito ufficiale, con la possibilità di scegliere tra un ticket valido per l'ingresso semplice nel weekend oppure prenotare un tour privato con un'apertura esclusiva nei giorni disponibili, anche infrasettimanali.
