Castello di Isola Farnese, Medieval castle in Isola Farnese, Italy
The Castello di Isola Farnese stands on a hilltop northwest of Rome, featuring thick defensive walls, battlements, and multiple towers that dominate the landscape.
Built in the 13th century by the Orsini family, the castle changed ownership in 1567 when Cardinal Alessandro Farnese purchased it for 16,500 scudi.
The castle reflects the architectural preferences of medieval Italian nobles through its strategic positioning, fortified structure, and internal layout of ceremonial spaces.
The castle requires a moderate uphill walk from the village center, and visitors should allocate at least two hours to explore the grounds properly.
The castle contains preserved sections of its original medieval fortifications alongside modifications made during the Renaissance period by the Farnese family.
