Castello di Casertavecchia, Medieval castle in Casertavecchia, Italy.
The castle stands on a hilltop of Tifata mountains, incorporating a hexagonal perimeter with walls, towers, and a central palace complex.
The fortress dates back to 861 AD when it served as a strategic defense point between Benevento and Capua during the Lombard control of Terra di Lavoro.
The castle represents Norman and Swabian architectural elements, featuring the tallest defensive tower in Europe, measuring 32 meters with a 10-meter diameter.
The State manages the main tower through the Ministry of Culture, while the Municipality of Caserta maintains the castle grounds.
Archaeological excavations conducted in 2021 by the University of Campania Luigi Vanvitelli revealed new information about the castle's structure.
