Castle of Pico

The Castle of the Pico (in Italian Castello dei Pico) is a castle in the city center of Mirandola, in the province of Modena, Italy.

Famous in Europe for being impregnable, it belonged to the House of Pico della Mirandola, who ruled over the city for four centuries (1311-1711) and which also contributed important pieces of art in the Renaissance period.

The castle, which dominates the long Costituente square and Circonvallazione boulevard (built in place of the ancient walls, demolished during the 19th century), was restored in 2006 after many years of neglect, but was then severely damaged by the 2012 Northern Italy earthquakes, which made it unusable again.
