The Agazzano Castle (in Italian Castello di Agazzano) is a fortification located in Agazzano, in the province of Piacenza. The castle is located on the edge of Agazzano town, not far from the main square, which was intended to be defended by the castle, and it is located in the heart of the Luretta Valley, a short distance from the course of the Luretta creek, at a point of slight elevation difference, where the last hill extensions of the Ligurian Apennines give way to the Po Valley.
The complex, which is part of the Castles of the Duchy of Parma, Piacenza and Pontremoli Association, is composed of two buildings with completely different history, use and appearance: the Renaissance fortress and the 18th century palace.[1][2]
