| Symbol of the city of Popoli, the castle was built between 970 and 1016 AD or at the behest of Tidolfo Theodolf, Bishop of Valva, which Popoli was subject. Located at 485 meters above sea level.
The castle of Popoli was surrounded by a double row of walls with a moat and around, the tall towers, guarding the surrounding countryside. Today only the ruins remain, but there remains no sign of the original building since it was restored several times by Cantelmo. Still represents one of the first defenses of the Valley Peligna besides being the expression of that social phenomenon called battlements. |
