Castello di Solofra, Medieval castle in Solofra, Italy.
The castle stands on a hill at the foot of Monte Pergola, providing a complete view of the city center and surrounding mountains.
Built in the 9th century by the Lombards, the castle served as a defense structure along the border between the principalities of Salerno and Benevento.
The castle structure displays multiple architectural layers from different periods, reflecting the changes in construction techniques through Italian medieval history.
The castle remains are currently under private ownership, with limited access pending restoration work by the Cultural Heritage Protection Association of Solofra.
Local stories tell of an underground tunnel connecting the castle to Palazzo Orsini, with reports of unexplained sounds within the structure.
