Il castello Malaspina di Fosdinovo è stato sede del feudo di uno dei rami dei Malaspina dello Spino Fiorito, dal XIV al XVIII secolo. La costruzione dell'imponente fortezza, che si fonde incredibilmente con la roccia arenaria tanto da farla sembrare scolpita nella pietra viva, ebbe inizio nella seconda metà del XII secolo, anche se si parla del Castrum Fosdinovense già in documento di Lucca del 1084. Innalzata a dominio e difesa del primitivo Castro di Fosdinovo, nel 1340 venne ufficialmente ceduta dai Nobili di Fosdinovo a Spinetta Malaspina, morto nel 1352.Egli creò così il marchesato di Fosdinovo risiedendo nel castello che il nipote Galeotto, scomparso nel 1367,in seguito ingrandirà e abbellirà. Nella parte finale del Quattrocento fu restaurato da cima a fondo da Gabriele Malaspina. Nel 500, grazie all'opera di Gabriele e del suo successore Lorenzo Malaspina, il castello acquistò l'aspetto e la dimensione di Corte rinascimentale, mentre nel 600, con Jacopo Malaspina, si ingrandì ancora di più fino a contare, nel 1636, ben ottocento "fuochi".
