Castello di Cicala, Medieval castle in Nola, Italy.
The castle stands on a hill with stone stairways leading to fortified walls that enclose a central courtyard and multiple restored halls.
The castle dates back to 460 AD when residents of Nola constructed it following the city's devastation by Vandals under Genseric's leadership.
The castle's name originates from Greek words 'gea calos', reflecting the connection between ancient Greek settlements and medieval Italian architecture.
The restored halls of Castello di Cicala now function as event spaces, making it a destination for gatherings and celebrations.
In 1640, the castle transferred ownership to Ladislaus, King of Poland, marking an unexpected connection between Italian and Polish nobility.
