Piccolomini Castle, Medieval castle in Capestrano, Italy.
The castle consists of two L-shaped buildings with circular towers at the corners and a main entrance facing the central town square.
The structure, completed in 1485, replaced an earlier fort and underwent modifications by several noble families, including Acquaviva, Piccolomini, and Medici.
The interior courtyard features a Renaissance well from the 1400s flanked by two columns with decorated capitals and ancient monoliths with carved surfaces.
The castle houses the municipal offices and a military museum dedicated to the World Wars, with free access during daytime hours.
The original medieval tower stands irregularly positioned in relation to the rest of the castle, indicating the evolution of the structure through time.
