Castello di Issogne

Issogne Castle is a castle in Issogne in the Aosta region of northwestern Italy. It is one of the most famous manors of the Val d'Aosta and is located on the right bank of the Dora Baltea at the centre of the inhabited area of Issogne. As a seigniorial residence of the Renaissance, the Castle has quite a different look from that of the austere Castle of Verrès, which is located on the opposite bank of the river.
Issogne Castle is most noteworthy for its fountain in the form of pomegranate tree and its highly decorated portico, a rare example of medieval Alpine painting, with its frescoed cycle of scenes of daily life from the late Middle Ages.
