Castello della Cecchignola, Medieval castle in Giuliano-Dalmata district, Rome, Italy.
The castle complex includes a fortified tower reaching 45 meters in height, two large courtyards, a farmhouse, and a small church with Baroque elements.
First mentioned in a 1217 seal by Honorius III Savelli, the castle belonged to the monastery of Sant'Alessio sull'Aventino before the Borghese family acquired it.
The castle houses a specialized library containing 5,000 volumes focused on stone art, architecture, ancient marbles, mosaics, and the University of marble workers.
