Experience Details*
Just an hour from Civitavecchia you’ll find yourself in the ancient hillside town of Bracciano dominated by the imposing Odescalchi Castle. Once described as one of the most beautiful feudal residences in all of Europe, Odescalchi Castle was built in the 2nd half of the 15th century and combines military architecture with a captivating elegance. Discover impressive rooms adorned with renaissance masterpieces, frescos and busts. The castle is built around a central courtyard and the views over Bracciano Lake are truly captivating. See for yourself the reason why Bernie Ecclestone’s daughter Petra chose this fairytale location for her wedding in 2011.
