Parella Castle (Italian: Castello di Parella) is a castle located in Parella, Piedmont, Italy.
History
[edit | edit source]The castle evolved from a medieval fortified tollhouse along the road between Ivrea and Castellamonte.[1][2] In the 14th century, after the Tuchinaggio rebellions, which likely damaged the San Martino family’s primary castle, situated further uphill in Parella, the family relocated their residence to this structure.[1]
Starting from 1545, Alessio I of the San Martino family undertook significant renovations, transforming the structure into a noble residence adorned with frescoes and decorations.[2] After centuries of ownership by the San Martino family, the castle passed through various hands including those of a religious order.
