Castello Frangipane, Medieval castle in Terracina, Italy
The castle stands on Roman foundations and features multiple defensive walls, towers, and fortified gates overlooking the surrounding plains of Terracina.
The Frangipane family received Terracina as a fief from Pope Celestine II in 1143, establishing their control over the castle and region.
The fortress represents the architectural evolution from the 10th to 15th centuries, showing different construction techniques and military engineering adaptations.
The castle remains temporarily closed to visitors due to structural concerns, with ongoing restoration efforts to ensure future public access.
In 1202, the residents of Terracina expelled the Frangipane family from the castle, leading to the establishment of new communal institutions.
