Castello di Montevetrano, Medieval castle in San Cipriano Picentino, Italy.
The castle stands on Montevetrano hill at an elevation of 258 meters, featuring perimeter walls, four interior chambers, and a cylindrical three-level tower.
The castle originated from a third-century BCE Roman castrum and underwent construction phases between the eleventh and thirteenth centuries to control Picentine populations.
The castle reflects the evolution of medieval defensive architecture in southern Italy through its strategic position overlooking the Sele Valley.
The castle maintains preserved perimeter walls, internal rooms, a cylindrical tower, and two large cisterns that visitors can examine during their tour.
The Carabinieri military force used this fortress in 1867 to monitor bandit incursions in the surrounding territory.
