The Castle of Canossa is a castle in Canossa, province of Reggio Emilia, northern Italy. It is especially known as the seat of the Walk to Canossa, the meeting of Emperor Henry IV and Pope Gregory VII during the Investiture Controversy (1077). The castle was built around 940 by Adalbert Atto Conte of Beggia and Mantura, son of Sigifredo of Lucca, a Lombard nobleman, on the summit of a rocky hill. Apart from Adalberto's residence, it included a convent with 12 Benedictine monks and the church of Sant'Apollonio. It was protected by a triple line of walls; between the two lower lines were the barracks and the residence of the servants. More information...
