The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Castello peut-être construit entre la fin du 12e siècle et 1246 par Ansaldo da Mare. Il joua un rôle important dans les relations entre l'île et Gênes. En 1388, les Da Mare firent acte de foi et hommage à la commune de Gênes. Le ralliement à la France des seigneurs de San Colombano furent les guerres de Sampiero, entraîna le démantèlement de la forteresse par les soldats gênois en 1554. Au centre du rempart se trouvent les vestiges du donjon très arasé. Dans la cour, de nombreux pans de murs laissent deviner la présence d'autres structures.

Castello perhaps built between the late 12th century and 1246 by Ansaldo da Mare. It played an important role in relations between the island and Genoa. In 1388, the Da Mare made an act of fealty and homage to the commune of Genoa. The rally to France of the lords of San Colombano were the wars of Sampiero, which led to the dismantling of the fortress by Genoese soldiers in 1554. In the centre of the rampart are found the vestiges of the keep very much reduced. In the courtyard, numerous sections of walls allow one to guess at the presence of other structures.
