Castel San Giovanni di Bondone is a castle complex that for centuries housed the noble Lodron family, which ruled the Valle del Chiese. As is the case with other castles managed by the Lodron family in the Valle del Chiese, the military component clearly predominates over the residential-residence elements. Built with granite from the distant quarries of Daone, the castle fell into disrepair due to constant looting by the population seeking the valuable building material. Today the castle, owned by the municipality of Bondone, is in excellent condition: recent restoration work has allowed it to regain its ancient appearance.

On a hairpin bend you take a detour and, along a splendid road closed to traffic, you arrive at a rocky outcrop, overlooking the waters of Lake Idro, where the castle of San Giovanni di Bondone stands.
The castle can be visited (admission €2) and inside you can access the various structures with magnificent views and a beautiful photographic exhibition on the "grass seekers", in honor of the work of the herdsmen. To be seen!!!
