Castrovalva is a lithograph print by the Dutch artist M. C. Escher first printed in February 1930. Like many of Escher’s early works it depicts a place that he visited on a tour of Italy.It depicts the Abruzzo village of Castrovalva which lies at the top of a sheer slope. The perspective is toward the northwest from the narrow trail on the left which at the point from which this view is seen makes a hairpin turn to the right descending to the valley.
