Theodoli Castle in Ciciliano

Castello Theodoli, Piazza di Corte, Sambuci, RM, Italia

Description

With its four corner towers (one round and three quadrangular), Theodoli Castle dominates the Aniene Valley from above the small village of Ciciliano (RM) in the Monti Prenestini area.

Documented for the first time in a paper attesting its new owner to be the Abbey of Subiaco in 1000, it was very probably built about a century earlier when the Saracens were defeated along the Aniene River. It later belonged to the Colonna family and, from the end of the 1400s, to the papacy. However, when Pope Alexander VI (1496-1503) died, he left it to his children Cesare and Lucrezia Borgia and it became the family’s property. In the 16th century, it passed through the hands of several families: Farnese, Colonna, Massimo (from 1563), until 1576 when it became property of the Theodoli family who still own it today.

Other identifying elements of the castle include two semi-circular access ramps and two hanging gardens, plus sentry walks.
