Castello di Rocca San Felice, Medieval castle in Rocca San Felice, Italy.
The castle stands on a rocky spur at 750 meters altitude, featuring a cylindrical tower and remaining sections of defensive walls.
The Lombards constructed the fortress around 850 to protect the Duchy of Benevento against Byzantine invasions in southern Italy.
Local documents from 1150 mention the structure as Castellum Sancti Felicis, marking its central role in regional medieval architecture.
The tower contains four distinct levels, including a ground-floor water cistern, a kitchen with an oven, and upper residential chambers.
According to regional tales, Margaret of Austria walks through the ruins during full moon nights searching for her husband Henry.
