Arnad Lower Castle
🇮🇹 Italy
The Castello Inferiore di Arnad (French: Château inférieur d'Arnad), also Castello Vallaise (French: Château Vallaise) or Palais de la Costetta, lies in the municipal territory of Arnad in the Aosta Valley.
Abandoned long ago or passed into private hands, this hill castle is among those in the Aosta Valley about which least is known.
The lower castle lies halfway up the hill on which the upper castle of Arnad stands. It is surrounded by terracing, perhaps to suggest an earlier ring wall. However, there are no documents at all about the castle from the 17th century, so that for the period before it there is no secure information.
