Castel Romano

Castel Romano was built in the 12th century and overlooks the village of Pieve di Bono and the Valle del Chiese

This imposing rectangular castle tower with its unique architectural structure was first owned by the Lords of Appiano, then by the Lords of Arco until the 14th century when it was acquired by the Counts Lodron. The latter ones extended the castle and added the Renaissance residential buildings.

Castel Romano was plundered several times and completely destroyed during World War 1. The restoration and consolidation works were started only during the last years: the entrance was fixed, some rooms were restored and precious treasures were found. The garden area, which now hosts several cultural events, was completely rebuilt.
