Castle of Barisciano, Medieval fortress in Barisciano, Italy.
The Castle of Barisciano stands at 1,500 meters elevation on Selva mountain, featuring a rectangular enclosure with eight defensive towers along its perimeter.
The fortress, initially constructed in the eighth century, expanded in the 13th century and suffered destruction by condottiere Braccio da Montone in 1424.
The Church of Saint Roch, established near one of the castle towers in 1526, contains wooden statues and frescoes representing religious art.
The castle enclosure extends over one kilometer in circumference, with a pentagonal main tower positioned at its highest point.
The fortress maintained control over the Navelli plateau, providing strategic access to the Gran Sasso d'Italia mountain range.
