Castles
The medieval fortification from the 10th to 11th century finds significant testimonies in this territory.
Ruins of imposing castles and small castles still intact form chains resting on the hills that defend the Liri Valley. The Benedictine monks and noble families, such as the Counts D'Aquino, have contributed to establishing this heritage as landowners.
The last World War resulted in much of their destruction, but it did not diminish the charm of their existence and the legends of those who lived there during the Middle Ages. Local communities enjoy wearing the clothing of that era and experiencing the medieval atmosphere together with those, like you, who want to participate in the costume events they organize every year.
