Castello di Carsoli, Medieval castle in Carsoli, Italy.
The fortress stands on Colle Sant'Angelo with two quadrangular towers and defensive walls overlooking the Turano River valley.
The castle construction began in 996 under the Counts of Marsi to protect the village from invasions along the Via Valeria.
The structure earned the name Forte de' Leoni from a feudal ruler who maintained control through strict governance over the local population.
The castle remains open for visits as an Italian national heritage site, located at coordinates 42.101126 latitude and 13.087428 longitude.
The original corner tower at the intersection of surrounding walls represents the oldest element of this defensive medieval complex.
