Castello dell’Elfo

Castello dell’Elfo is reborn in all its splendor in the spring of the year 2003 after 6 years of research and accurate restoration. The medieval structure, to date, is the only memory still visible and visitable in relation to the Castle of Rivalta and it is assumed that the same had the function of outpost or lookout tower, a small castle, armigers, who controlled the access. Located in a historically significant position (in the territory of Matilde di Canossa) and strategic, Castello dell’Elfo was a point of connection between the Castle fo Torrechiara and the Castle of Rivalta; a historical memory in a picture in the Golden Room at the Castle of Torrechiara is still existing, where in 1464, more or less, Bembo depicted it among the castles of the province of Parma.
