Castello Ruspoli

The castle exhibits Renaissance architecture with symmetrical proportions, featuring four corner towers and a central courtyard surrounded by stone walls.

Construction began in 1574 under architect Giacomo Barozzi da Vignola after Pope Clement VII granted the land to Beatrice Farnese in 1531.

The formal Italian gardens, created in the 17th century by Ottavia Orsini, demonstrate the period's gardening principles with geometric patterns and boxwood hedges.

Visitors can access the castle through guided tours that include the Renaissance gardens, main halls, and the ground floor chapel dedicated to Saint Giacinta.

The castle maintains its original family ownership, as the Ruspoli descendants continue to inhabit the property while allowing public visits and events.
