Casaforte Malavilla
Museum | Langhirano | Emilia-Romagna | Italy
The Casaforte Malavilla in Langhirano is a remarkable example of a medieval rural fortress built in the 15th century. It is located near the Rocca di Valle di Castrignano and is a significant testimony to the rural architecture and history of the region.
Originally built as a fortified residence for nobles or wealthy farmers, the Casaforte Malavilla served both as a residence and a defensive structure. Its strategic location allowed for the control of the surrounding land and defense against potential attackers.
In 2023, the Campelli family began the restoration of the Casaforte Malavilla to preserve the building and make it accessible to the public. The goal is to use the historic building as a museum showcasing rural and fortified residential culture of the Middle Ages, thus preserving the cultural heritage of the region.
The Casaforte Malavilla is a unique example of medieval rural architecture, offering a fascinating glimpse into the life and architecture of that time. Its restoration and conversion into a museum contribute to preserving the cultural heritage of the region and making it accessible to future generations.
