Castello di Vezio

This is the castle on the hill I referenced in the last post.  It was well worth the hike.  The specific origin is unknown, but they believe is was built in the 400's.  It has over the years become a bird sanctuary, but I did not see any while there.  As far up the hill as it was, the views were wonderful.

 

The castle itself was very well maintained.  Nice gardens and I was able to walk all the way to the top of the tower.
