| 释义 |
The Malaspina Castle is located in Massa, Italy. It crowns the top of a rocky hill and dominates the wide underlying plain and part of the Tyrrhenian coast. From the 17th century the main purpose of the castle was military and it served as a prison until 1946.[1] The castle was subsequently restored and reopened to the public.[1] HistoryThe first record on castle dates back to 1164.[1] In 1269 because of political discords with local inhabitants it was leveled to the ground by the army of the nearby city of Lucca.[1] The castle became the seat of the marquises of Massa.[1] It was visited by Dante Alighieri, who supposedly envisioned the descending circles of Hell, that inspired the corresponding part of his Divine Comedy.[2] According to legend, Dante saw the great funnel-shaped cave lying below, surrounded by a series of ledges with the slopes converging to the stream.[2] Notes1. ^1 2 3 4 {{cite web|url=http://www.castellitoscani.com/massa.htm|title= Malaspina Castle - Massa|publisher = Castellitoscani.com|author=|accessdate=2009-05-10}} 2. ^1 Lucio Galletto, David Dale, Paul Green, Soffritto, Allen & Unwin, 2008, p. 157 {{ISBN|1-74175-076-8}} External links{{commonscat|Category:Rocca Malaspina (Massa)}}
