  1. 5 Castles Of Italy You Can’t Miss On Your Italian Vacation

  2. 1. Castel Sant’Angelo, Rome • The construction of Castel Sant’Angelo started way back in 123 A.D. It was commissioned by the then Roman Emperor Hadrian who wanted it to use it as a mausoleum for him and his family. Later, the building was converted into a castle by popes and in the 14th century under the orders of Pope Nicholas III an 800-meter fortified corridor was built which is known as Passetto di Borgo that connected it to St. Peter’s Basilica.

  3. 2. Monteriggioni, Tuscany • Etched in history by one of the greatest poets- Dante, Monteriggioni castle has a mention in one of the most popular works of the poet- the Divine Comedy. Although not situated in a city like Rome- a sanctum sanctorum of the Roman civilization, Monteriggioni is one of the beautiful Italian castles in the picturesque Tuscan region.

  4. 3. Castel dell’Ovo, Naples • The literal translation of Castel dell’Ovo in English is ‘Egg Castle’ and the name has an interesting history about it. Located on a small peninsula, Megaride, a former island in the Gulf of Naples, Castel dell’Ovo according to legend is built on a magic egg buried by the ancient Roman poet Virgil. 

  5. 4. La Rocca Viscontea, Castell’Arquato • Probably the remotest of all (castles mentioned here) is the Rocca Viscontea. Located in the commune (town) Castell’Arquato in the province of Piacenza in the Italian region Emilia Romagna, stands more than half a millennium old castle Rocca Viscontea dominating the village and the valley Val d’Arda.

  6. 5. La Scarzuola, Umbria • Yet another picturesque Italian castle is the La Scarzuola which is a part of architect Tomaso Buzzi’s ideal city. Located a little north of Rome which often seems halfway (Florence and Rome) on the Autostrada 1 is the province of Terni. The rural town of Umbria in the municipality of Montegabbione in the province has the youngest castle of them all.
