Castello di Decima, Medieval castle in Castel di Decima, Rome, Italy.

Castello di Decima features a four-arm structure with crenellated battlements, an entrance flanked by a tower, and an internal courtyard containing a circular fountain at its center.

The current structure was built in 1768 on the site of an early medieval fortification dating back to Roman times, originally serving as a strategic defense point along Via Laurentina.

The castle houses the small church of Sant'Andrea apostolo in Castel di Decima, reflecting the site's religious significance and its integration into the local community over centuries.

The castle is located on Via Clarice Tartufari in southern Rome and can be visited during special occasions or organized guided tours, with parking available nearby.

Archaeological excavations starting in 1971 uncovered a large necropolis from the 8th-7th centuries BC, possibly associated with the ancient settlement of Politorium or Tellena.
