TOUR T13: BRACCIANO - ART AND HISTORY

The Beautiful Castle of Bracciano

Duration: 7 Hours

The Orsini Family built the castle in the fifteenth century.

The castle has a pentagonal base with great cylindrical towers, a battlemented projecting walkway and two rows of crossed windows.

This beautiful Renaissance building overlooks the lake with the same name and dominates the little town, whose birthday comes probably back to the year 1234, when several documents mention a “Castrum Brachiani”.

The Castle contains armories, decorated halls and valuable works of art, and parts of it are a museum open to the public.
