Castle of Bominaco, Medieval fortress in Bominaco, Italy.

The Castle of Bominaco stands on a strategic hilltop with a trapezoidal layout, reinforced by squared towers and a cylindrical defensive tower.

Following its destruction in 1424 by Braccio da Montone, the castle underwent reconstruction under Cyprian of Iacobuccio with authorization from Pope Martin V.

The castle forms part of a monumental complex that includes the Church of Santa Maria Assunta and the Oratory of San Pellegrino in the Abruzzo region.

The castle remains open for exploration, allowing visitors to examine the medieval masonry techniques and the architectural elements of its fortification system.

The fortress occupies an elevation of 1,000 meters on the Navelli plateau, providing military advantages through its command of surrounding territories.
