Castello di Roccacasale, Medieval castle in Roccacasale, Italy.
The Castello di Roccacasale stands at 450 meters above sea level on Monte della Rocca, featuring four cylindrical towers and a walled courtyard.
Initially constructed in the 10th century as a military watchtower, the castle sustained damage during the 1461 earthquake that affected the L'Aquila region.
