Despite this, Malgrate still
appears as a classic medieval fortress: the main body consists of a
keep, with the tower, situated on the shorter side of the feudal palazzo
with a rectangular layout.
The complex is surrounded by a trapezoidal wall, with Guelph battlements and
scarps, loopholes, angular turrets, and a rampart walk, which probably
dates back to the 14th century.
In the west wall there is a gate
that leads to the old town. The two main roads start here, with elegant
palazzos along the way.
The inner front of the castle has a door with a raised arch and you can
still see the traces of the old drawbridge, today replaced by one made
of stone and those of another postern.
