Castro, Lazio, Archaeological site in Ischia di Castro, Italy

The archaeological area contains fortifications and structural remains that showcase the development of settlements throughout different historical periods.

Castro flourished as an autonomous commune under papal control until its complete destruction in 1649 following the Wars of Castro.

The excavated structures and artifacts from Castro provide insights into the daily routines of Etruscan and Roman civilizations in northern Lazio.

The archaeological site requires sturdy walking shoes and sun protection, as the terrain presents uneven surfaces throughout the exploration route.

A stone column marks the location of the destroyed city with the inscription 'Qui fu Castro,' meaning 'Here stood Castro.'
