Medieval castle in the Abruzzo region

In the heart of the Abruzzo region - not far from Rome and Naples - this exceptional medieval castle ("castello") is for sale.

The castle was built on the foundations of an old military fortress from the 13th century and changed feudal lordship several times over the centuries.

One of the largest and most fascinating castles in central Italy, it has hosted illustrious personalities, princes and kings over the centuries and has served as a residence, restaurant, events and movie set over the last century.

Situated on a hill and well protected by a wall and five round towers, this prestigious "bulwark" is a place steeped in history, nestled in the splendid Abruzzo countryside, surrounded by olive groves and lush vegetation.

The castle has an irregular pentagonal plan with round corner towers - even today the overall layout emphasizes its historical military function. The elegant L-shaped courtyard with a fountain meets the requirements of a noble residence. The interiors have been partially refined by the restoration carried out in the 1930s and have preserved their original appearance from the Gothic and Renaissance periods; the large Renaissance-style courtyard is the ideal setting for receptions and outdoor dinners. The large swimming pool, open to the valley, adds charm and enchantment to the building. Inside, there are many notable architectural motifs: the Guelph battlements, the five corner towers, the courtyard, the loggia with four arches, and the single-nave private chapel for religious services and weddings.
