Torrenova Castle, Medieval castle in Rome, Italy

Torrenova Castle is a medieval farmhouse complex on Via Casilina 1390, improperly called a castle, built around a rectangular tower about twenty metres high with swallowtail merlons: five on the sides parallel to Via Casilina and four on the perpendicular sides. The tower, restored and rebuilt in place of an earlier one, gives the name Torre Nuova. The complex now forms a condominium of small apartments.

The site is documented with certainty from the second half of the 13th century, when it belonged to the Bove (or Bobone) family and was called the casale or tower of Giovanni Bove. In 1562 the estate was sold to Cristoforo Cenci; his son Francesco expanded it from 258.5 rubbia to 925 rubbia (over 1,700 hectares) by 1600. After the Cenci executions of 11 September 1599 the estate was confiscated and auctioned for 91,000 scudi, bought by Gian Francesco Aldobrandini, who built the battlemented castle around the tower.

The name Torrenova comes from the "Torre Nuova", a tower restored and rebuilt on the site of an earlier one; the surrounding neighbourhood took its name from it. In the walled garden that gave its name to the Giardinetto district stand the remains of an early 16th-century nymphaeum known as the "Bagno della Bella Cenci", which cannot be entered because it shelters homeless people.

The complex stands on Via Casilina at number 1390, in the Torrenova area of eastern Rome. It has been divided into small apartments and sold to private owners, forming a condominium, so the buildings and the walled garden are not open to visitors. The nymphaeum known as the Bagno della Bella Cenci, in the former walled garden, cannot be entered because it is occupied by homeless people.

The castle is a condominium: since around the 2010s the historic complex, bound as a national monument, has been divided into small flats and sold to private owners, which hinders any full restoration or public opening. In the former walled garden stood a nymphaeum of the early 1500s called "Bagno della Bella Cenci", now inaccessible because it shelters homeless people.
