Italian castles and medieval residences still retains their charm, made of ancient history, kings, queens and knights. A castle is a small world that is often able to tell interesting stories and  where it's nice to spend a weekend away from the daily routine. Italy has more than 20,000 castles, towers and fortresses, and about a thousand medieval castles. A unique architectural and historical heritage that rivals the more famous castles of the Loire or the Castles of Germany.

Today, many of these castles are still preserved in good condition, renovated for sightseeing tours or prestigious tourists accommodations. Here we will list some of Southern Italy's that are worth a visit.
