Shortened history of the castle:

This castle was built in 1465 by Antonio Piccolomini on the remains of previous fortifications, from which a large quadrangular tower remains. It is formed by a quadrangular enclosure with four cylindrical towers (one destroyed) on powerful, inclined bases.

Until the 19th century, Ortucchio Castle was completely surrounded by the waters of the Fucino Lake and was accessible only by waterways.
