Castello di Gragnano

The castle structure includes remnants of three defensive walls, twelve towers, and three entrance gates overlooking the Valley of Mills in Campania.

Built in the 10th century by Amalfitans to protect against Lombard and Norman invasions, the castle reached its peak importance during the 13th century.

The castle grounds contain the Church of Santa Maria dell'Assunta and maintain a visible street layout with a 130-meter-long decumanus from Roman times.

Visitors can explore the remaining vaulted gate, tower ruins, and fortification walls while walking through the castle grounds in central Gragnano.

The castle complex, known as Castrum Granianense, housed hundreds of residents within its triple defensive walls until the fall of the Duchy of Amalfi.
