Una strada ripida per un castello massiccio - A steep road to a massive castle

            Il castello di Verrès è uno dei più famosi manieri medievali valdostani. 
Costruito come fortezza militare da Ibleto di Challant nel XIV secolo, fu uno dei primi esempi di castello monoblocco, costituito cioè da un unico edificio a differenza dei manieri più antichi formati da una serie di corpi di fabbrica racchiusi da una cinta muraria
Si erge su un promontorio roccioso che domina l'abitato di Verrès:  esternamente appare come un austero cubo di trenta metri di lato, praticamente privo di elementi decorativi. 
Il castello è visitabile e vi si accede tramite una strada ripida.

----------

Verrès Castle is one of the most famous medieval castles in the Aosta Valley (Italy). 
Built as a military fortress by Ibleto di Challant in the 14th century, it was one of the first examples of a monobloc castle, that is, made up of a single building, unlike the older castles formed by a series of buildings enclosed by a wall.
It stands on a rocky promontory overlooking the town of Verrès: externally it appears as an austere cube measuring thirty metres on each side, with virtually no decorative elements. 
The castle can be visited and is accessed via a steep road.
