Santa Severa Castle, Medieval castle in Santa Marinella, Italy

The stone fortress rises along the Tyrrhenian Sea coast, featuring defensive walls, towers, and internal courtyards that reflect medieval architectural elements.

Built on the remains of an ancient Roman castrum from the 3rd century BC, the castle underwent major construction in the 14th century and belonged to the Order of the Holy Spirit.

The castle complex includes five museums, with exhibits dedicated to maritime navigation, archaeological discoveries, and the history of the Etruscan civilization of Pyrgi.

The castle remains open throughout the year, offering guided tours, convention facilities, a cocktail bar, and special night visits during summer months.

Recent excavations at the castle grounds revealed a Roman residence from Imperial times and an Early Christian church dating to the 5th century.
