Castles around Country of Isernia, palaces and mansions

The area around Country of Isernia is rich in castles, towers, and historic houses, a strong testimony of medieval architecture. A dense network of manors spreads out over the whole area, in the plains, on the gentle hill slopes and perched on rocky mountains, surrounded by vineyards, beech and chestnut woods. Built in strategic positions, they dominate the surrounding valleys, often with mighty crenellated walls and lively interior decorations made on frescoed walls to recall the opulence of the local noble families. Many can be visited, still others used as homes, and still others only ruins as evidence of a glorious past. Discover with Visititaly, the fortresses, the villas, the forts, the historic buildings, the noble residences and all the places linked to culture in the surroundings of Country of Isernia. If you have visited a castle and would like to share your experience with others, please report it here!

Castelpetroso - Castles, palaces and mansions

Castello Castelpetroso trasformato

Castelpetroso Castle is located in the Region of Molise. It is a medieval structure and is part, together with the church and squares, of the historic center of the city. One of the fascinating attractions, near the castle, is the Sanctuary of Mary Most Holy Sorrows. It is thought that the construction of the castle dates back to the 1000 century, the church, instead to the 13th century. The castle takes its name, precisely, from the rich stones that form it.
