| Castello di Palo |
My friend went to Ladispoli to do her internship. This town is at the Tyrrhenian Sea shore, next to Rome.
She said all the time that there was nothing but the sea and the hotel where she worked.
The Palo Castle was built in 1500 to replace an older fort in the site. The name Palo comes from the word 'Palus' which is swamps in Latin. There were big swamps around the area, that's where the name comes from. According to records, many important men from Italan history had spent time in the castle: popes and the members of the Orsini family. The castle today is a property of the Odescalchi family, as it was for a long time during history.
Even if this small town has no more sight to see, this castle is pretty interesting :)
Love the colours of this photo.
