The Castello di Bracciano - a stone's throw from Rome - is one of the most impressive castles in Italy, Europe and the world. Completed in 1485 by the Orsini family, around an existing 12th century Vico fortress, it is one of the few renaissance castles in Italy that - thanks to the Odescalchi family - is open to the public. It also plays host to numerous weddings, galas and important cultural events throughout the year.

Went there as a part of a winery tour (which I have reviewed separately, two thumbs up!!!) and the castle surprised us being so very beautiful, in a great condition, fantastic artifacts and interesting history. The guide was such a knowledgeable lady speaking very good English. She really made the tour to be so great. It was a rainy day, but still the scenery up from the castle towards the Bracciano lake was gorgeous. The rain didn’t distract at all even though walking in the courtyard of the castle. There was only a handful of people there which made the visit even better: you could see everything in peace and just wonder from the gorgeous halls to another. Go and see the castle - you won’t be disappointed!

The Subiaco's Abbatian Fortress is not only architecture and art but it represents also the history of Subiaco and of the surrounding territory. It was built almost a millennium ago, therefore in 1070 by the Abbot Giovanni V. Toward the middle if the 15th century Pope Callisto III decided to astablish the Cardinal Commendam so the fortress became the residence of the commendatory abbots. Here lived Rodrigo Borgia so in 1480 born his daughter Lucrezia Borgia.Today the Fortress is still considered a beautiful and suggestive place especially for its nobles and fully painted apartments of the Colonna (XVI sec.) and Braschi (XVIIIsec.) family. The fortress provides a single point of view on the medieval village and the valley below. Thanks to Liborio Coccetti's tempera yuo can see the entire fortress as it appeared at the and of 18 century, while the grotsque of the circle of Perin del Valgareminds yuo the atmosphere of the Renaissace banquets. Many historical figures have linked their name to the "Rocca Abbaziale". The most famous were RODRIGO BORGIA and her daugheter LUCREZIA BORGIA, the COLONNA FAMILY, POPE PIUS VI AND POPE PIUS IX.
