Castle of Gesualdo, Renaissance castle in Gesualdo, Italy.

Built in the 16th century, this castle gained recognition through its owner Carlo Gesualdo, a composer who transformed the structure into his primary residence.

The castle stands as a testament to the transformation of military fortifications into refined noble residences during the Italian Renaissance period.
