Savona - The Priamar Castle
Il Priamar
The Priamar
Costruita nel 1542 per volere della Repubblica di Genova, in seguito alla sconfitta che quest'ultima inflisse alla citta' di Savona, la fortezza del Priamar venne realizzata per controllare sia il nemico sabaudo sia la popolazione locale sempre incline ad ovvie ribellioni nel tentativo di liberarsi dal giogo inflitto dai genovesi. Tra l'altro, fu proprio qui che venne imprigionato Giuseppe Mazzini, tra il 1830 ed il 1831, in una cella tuttora visitabile. Fu proprio durante questa prigionia che il rivoluzionario concepi' la Giovine Italia. Ricca di storia, la fortezza merita oggi di essere visitata per vari motivi: oltre al museo che si trova al piano terra del Palazzo della Loggia, si trova anche un teatro all'aperto dove hanno luogo varie rappresentazioni.
 
The Priamar fortress was built in 1542 after the Republic of Genoa defeated Savona. The former ned the fortress to control two main enemies: the Savoys and the local population who were always willing to revolt against the Republic of Genoa. Moreover, here Giuseppe Mazzini was imprisoned between 1830 and 1831 in a jail you can still visit. He conceived the Giovine Italia (Young Italy) just during this time. The fortress is rich in history, and deserves to be visited for several reasons: in addition to the museum on the low ground of the Palazzo della Loggia (the Loggia Palace), here you will be able to find an open-air theatre, too. Therefore, the visitors will be able to attend to the various performances inside the fortress.
