22. Fenis Castle, Italy
Unlike other castles erected for purposes of military defense, Fénis Castle is found atop a small knoll in the town of Fénis. While this medieval castle has a defensive structure, it only served as the official seat of the famous Challant family.
The castle has a pentagonal layout and round towers. The southwest corner is unusual in that it features a huge tower. The watchtowers are linked via a single walkway.
