The Castelli di Cannero are three rocky islets of Lake Maggiore. They are known as castles, in recognition of the ruined ancient fortifications which are found on two of them. They are all that remains of the Rocca Vitaliana fortress built between 1519 and 1521 by Ludovico Borromeo,
Over the following centuries it became a refuge for smugglers, was used by fishermen and was even home to a gang of counterfeiters.
They have been open to the public since July 2025.
