Ivrea Castle (Italian: Castello d'Ivrea) is a castle located at Piazza Castello in Ivrea, Italy. It was built on behalf of Amadeus VI, Count of Savoy, in 1358.
Ivrea was built to signify the dominance of the House of Savoy over the region. The castle has four towers erected on a plan flank. It is located next to a cathedral and a bishop's palace. The castle is mentioned in the work of Giosuè Carducci.[1][2][3]
In the 18th century, Irvrea was converted to a prison. In 1970, it was restored as a castle.
