Fubine Monferrato is not a castle but a historic municipality located in the Province of Alessandria within the Piedmont region of northern Italy. Situated approximately 60 kilometers east of Turin and 15 kilometers northwest of Alessandria, this comune lies in the heart of the Montferrat area. The town covers an area of roughly 25 square kilometers and maintains a small population of around 1,600 residents. Its strategic position places it near several neighboring communities, including Altavilla Monferrato and Vignale Monferrato, contributing to its role as a local hub in the Alessandria province.

While the provided records do not specify a construction date or architectural style for a singular castle structure, the area holds historical significance as part of the broader Montferrat territory, known for its medieval heritage and vineyards. The town is notably the birthplace of Luigi Longo, a prominent Italian politician who served from 1900 to 1980, adding to its cultural legacy. Today, Fubine Monferrato functions as an active civil community with its own local government and official online presence. It also hosts contemporary events such as the Margara Golf Open, blending its rural traditions with modern recreational activities. The municipality has established international ties through a twinning agreement with Sokponta in Benin, reflecting its engagement beyond local borders. Visitors interested in the region will find a typical Piedmontese landscape rather than a standalone fortress, with the town serving as a gateway to the surrounding historical and agricultural riches of northern Italy.
