Palazzo Caetani, Renaissance palace in Cisterna di Latina, Italy

The palace features two towers and an internal courtyard paved with cobblestones, incorporating an ancient fortress tower into its irregular structure.

Duke Bonifacio Caetani commissioned architect Francesco da Volterra to construct the palace between 1560 and 1574 on the ruins of Frangipane fortress.

The Zuccari Hall contains frescoes depicting the Caetani family properties, including Sermoneta, Norma, Ninfa, Circeo, and scenes from the Pontine marshes.

The palace currently houses the municipal library, art gallery, Museum of Butteri and Horses, and regularly hosts cultural events throughout the year.

An extensive network of underground caves and tunnels extends 15 meters beneath the palace, serving as shelter for 4,000 people during World War II.
