Castel Savello, Medieval castle ruins in Albano Laziale, Italy.
The stone fortress stands on Monte Savello, featuring thick defensive walls and strategic vantage points overlooking the surrounding Lazio countryside.
Cardinal Giovanni Vitelleschi's forces destroyed the castle in 1435 during a military campaign against Roman barons, including the Savelli family.
The castle represents the power dynamics between noble families and the papal authority during the medieval period in the Roman countryside.
Visitors can access the castle ruins via Via Monte Savello, located 25 kilometers southeast of Rome's city center.
The Savelli family constructed the castle between 1216 and 1287, during the reigns of two popes who shared the name Honorius.
