Castello di Montesarchio, Medieval castle in Montesarchio, Italy.
The stone castle stands at the summit of Monte Taburno, featuring defensive walls and towers that dominate the surrounding Benevento province landscape.
During the Italian War of 1542-1546, the castle was confiscated and transferred to Alfonso II d'Avalos, Marquis of the Vasto, marking a shift in ownership.
The castle now houses the National Archaeological Museum of Sannio Caudino, displaying artifacts that represent the region's historical development through centuries.
Visitors can reach the castle by following the marked paths from Via Castello in Montesarchio's center, with guided tours available by calling +39-0824-834570.
The fortress served as a prison for notable Italian patriots in the mid-19th century, including Carlo Poerio and Michele Pironti.
