Civitacampomarano Castle, Medieval castle and history museum in Civitacampomarano, Italy.

The castle rises on a sandstone ridge with three cylindrical towers, dominating the landscape at 520 meters above sea level between Termoli and Campobasso.

The structure evolved from a 12th-century Norman watchtower to its current form during the 15th century, featuring Catalan-Aragonese architectural elements and military defenses.

The entrance portal displays a griffin holding two inverted lilies, representing the Aragonese victory over the Angevins in the Kingdom of Naples.

Visitors can explore former prisons, stables, warehouses, and a granary across multiple levels, with wheelchair accessibility throughout the building.

The castle maintains a sophisticated water collection system with terracotta gutters leading to a 120,000-liter underground cistern that supplied water to the town.
