This castle was built in the 16th century on a previous medieval castle built in 1165 by the family Malaspina. Today is a private castle so it is impossible to go inside.

First, about Lavanto: a nice little town 6 minutes by train from Monterosso (Cinque Terre) by train. If all of the tourists are making you crazy in Cinque Terre, this is a nice place to visit. Make sure you stop by the tourist information center and get a map, then go up to old town. The Castello is not open to the public, although you can walk around part of it. Interesting, given its age. Once you have seen it, walk down the steps to the west to the beach for very pleasant views.

An impenetrable fortress is designed to be precisely that, and even today, in a world of bazookas and ballistic missiles, here's one castle nobody's getting into, other than by invitation. It's closed to the public and one might wonder why another of the same species might choose to live such a life.
Do they walk around in suits of armor, drink mead, maintain a functional keep and dungeon, call each other mi'lord. sire and fulsome wench? (I know folks living in Brooklyn, New York who do so regularly on weekends, but that's another story). Do they have a long history of royal blood or merely hit it big a while back in parabolic plumbing valves?
With a name like Castle San Giorgio, do they breed kimodos? I can envision the white paneled trucks now: Dragons exclusively by Saint George. Call for appointment.
For most of us, it's just a pleasantly quick shot of the camera and turn to something less tactically impenetrable beyond.

It is now a private residence but is still worth the walk up past the church to see the historic exterior. The views from the castle are great and a path leads to the promenade so go and have a look.

This place was in a hill, we got up and after about 200 steps we found out that the castle is private according to one of the locals passingby and you cannot your it or visit it, we were so disappointed since we wanted to go in and take pictures, on the way down we enjoyed the visit to saint Andrea church worth the visit.

We were surprised that this was mentioned as a local attraction, but when we found it turned out that it is a private area and we cannot even see the whole castle even from outside. It was disappointing.

The castle is a private residence, you can't visit it, and you can't see much from the outside. A nice walk, but not really a destination.

Looked pretty special from down below on the beach, so we followed our noses , past the Church and up the ancient town walls and cobblestones to the Castello ! The medieval tower dates back to the 16th Century and from a Genoese house to a prison back to a house today. Private House that is , No tours, but good on them for renovating & restoring this great artifact of olden days !!
