Castle Doria, Medieval castle in Angri, Italy.

Castle Doria in Angri is a moated castle divided into three parts, with two towers, an entrance courtyard and an 18th-century staircase. A crenellated facade with a circular tower leads to the cloister, off which open the Castri room, the Lord of the Land's room, the governor's and garrison quarters and the prisons. The 18th-century Doria palace was designed by the architect Francesconi.

In 1290 King Charles II of Anjou assigned the fortress to Pietro De Braheriis, establishing its role in the regional defense network. It thus served as a key strategic location for controlling the surrounding territory for centuries.

The Doria family transformed the fortress into a noble home from 1600 onwards, creating gardens with flower beds and ancient trees around the building. This change shows how military strongholds became residences for the wealthy.

The building underwent major renovation work between 2018 and 2022 and is planned to be converted into a public museum. Before visiting, check on current access and opening arrangements since ongoing development work may affect visitor hours.

The main tower, called Il Mastio, is the oldest part of the castle. Judging by its materials — soft and hard tuff, terracotta fragments, flint and sifted local stone — and by its tall, wide, circular form, it probably dates from the Roman era.
