Description

The Castello della Rotta (or more correctly: de La Rotta) is an old building of medieval origin located in the hamlet of the same name in the municipality of Moncalieri, on the outskirts of the city of Turin.

Dating from the 12th century, according to various texts and some scholars in the field it is said to be unanimously described as «one of the most haunted manors in Italy», as well as a destination for inspections and visits to witness recurrent, though alleged, paranormal phenomena.
