 Castles of Abruzzo


Castles of Abruzzo – Castles are one of the main elements of the regional organization and of the feudal and Renaissance society.

In Abruzzo we can see various types of fortified castles and towers, situated inside urban centres or in strategic positions to defend and guard the region. From the Rocca Calascio fortress, which has a square plan with 4 circular towers, to the Celano castle, which has a rectangular shape and a wide inner court, Abruzzo offers its treasures of military and town planning art to anyone who wants to visit the interior and discover the richness of this region.
