Castello di Oricola

Oricola, Province of L'Aquila, Italy, Italy

Castello di Oricola is a medieval castle located in the hilltop town of Oricola in the Province of L'Aquila, Abruzzo, Italy.

Its origins date back to the 9th century, when it was built as a defensive fortress to protect the area from invasions and control important routes through the region.
