Castello di Murlo, Medieval castle north of Perugia, Italy
The castle stands on a hilltop between Mount Elceto and Mount Tezio, controlling the Tiber Valley with its square-shaped watchtower and fortified walls.
The castle's central tower dates back to the 11th century, while additional fortified structures and defensive walls were added between the 14th and 16th centuries.
The Oddi family transformed the military fortress into their countryside residence in the 16th century, commissioning renovations that maintained its defensive features.
The privately owned estate allows access only by foot, and visitors can observe the castle exclusively from the nearby public road.
Archaeological findings near the castle include an ancient prehistoric mountain fortification called Cerchiaia di Murlo on Mount Elceto's summit.
