Castello di Fumone
Italy, Italy
Castello di Fumone is a historic hilltop fortress in the Lazio region, known for its commanding position overlooking the Sacco Valley and its long association with the Papal States.
For centuries, it served as a strategic lookout and a papal prison, using smoke signals to warn of approaching threats, a role that gave the town its name. The castle is especially famous as the place where Pope Celestine V, who abdicated the papacy, was imprisoned and died in 1296. Over time, it evolved from a military stronghold into a noble residence and remains one of the region’s most significant medieval landmarks, renowned for its history, gardens, and panoramic views.
