Castello di Gagliano Aterno

The castle contains two defensive wall rings, cylindrical towers at corners, and a residential palace arranged around an inner courtyard with a well point.

Built between late 12th and early 13th centuries by the Berardi family, the castle underwent expansion in 1328 under Countess Isabella d'Aquino's direction.

The castle's architectural evolution reflects the transition from military fortress to noble residence through its enlarged windows and decorative two-level loggia design.

Located at coordinates 42°7'37.589"N and 13°41'57.595"E, visitors can access sections of the ground floor while the upper levels remain private residence.

The castle features an inner drawbridge crossing a moat, connecting to a courtyard surrounded by porticos with pointed arches on the first level.
