Castello Odescalchi di Bracciano

A glimpse of this formidable Renaissance military fortress will transport you to distant times and enchant you with vestiges of feudal lords, noble families, princes, and dukes. The castle is still the private property of Prince Livio Odescalchi, and the interior of the castle has been transformed into a historical museum open to the public to visit. As you make your way through the splendid rooms fit for Kings and Popes, you can admire the 6 centuries worth of artwork, furniture, weaponry, books, and manuscripts, providing you with a genuine glimpse into the private quarters and lives of some of Italy’s most powerful historical figures. Tickets to Odescalchi Castle in Bracciano are currently 8.50 Euros per person and can be bought on location.
