The Castello di San Giorgio is a significant monument in the city of Mantua and forms part of the Reggia dei Gonzaga. This castle was built on the ruins of the church of Santa Maria di Capo di Bove, starting in 1395 and completed in 1406. It was commissioned by Francesco I Gonzaga and designed by Bartolino da Novara. The castle is a square building with four corner towers and surrounded by a moat with three gates and corresponding drawbridges, aimed at defending the city.
