A castle perched upon the hillside in Vipiteno (Sterzing) is just one of many traditional castles (Burg Sprechenstein) throughout Italy. Some European castles are known for their eeriness while others are considered incredibly romantic and each one of them has their own unique tale to tell.
Historic castles are part of past events that occurred in Italy and tours are available to visit many of the famous castles around Italy. Depending on which type of history lesson you are interested in, the castle you choose will have to be your own decision as each one is different.
