Castello di Morrea, Medieval castle in San Vincenzo Valle Roveto, Italy.

The Castello di Morrea is a castle positioned on elevated ground with defensive walls, towers, and interior courtyards typical of Italian medieval architecture. The complex shows multiple building phases with different architectural styles added over the centuries.

The castle was probably built at the end of the 15th century on a pre-existing walled enclosure with circular towers from the 11th–12th centuries, adapted into a Renaissance fortress. In 1463 Morrea and the castle became part of the barony of Balsorano, remaining there until feudalism ended in 1806. It was later called "castello de Caris" after the last owning family linked to the Piccolomini.

Between the 19th and 20th centuries the castle was also called "castello de Caris", after the last owning family related to the Piccolomini. During World War II one wing housed the operational base of the Morrea detachment of the partisan brigade "Patrioti della Marsica", formed by the priest Savino Orsini with Pietro Casalvieri, Ugo Gemmiti and Giuseppe Testa.

Visitors can reach the castle through guided tours arranged by local heritage organizations, and advance booking is recommended. It helps to check opening times and access requirements beforehand to plan the visit effectively.

The 1915 Marsica earthquake caused serious damage to the castle, which lost some floors and a side tower; it was already in an advanced state of decay before the quake. During World War II one wing housed the operational base of the Morrea detachment of the partisan brigade "Patrioti della Marsica", formed by the priest Savino Orsini with locals such as Pietro Casalvieri, Ugo Gemmiti and Giuseppe Testa.
