Historic Residence with Panoramic View at the Gates of Rome

On a hill in the picturesque San Polo dei Cavalieri, just a few kilometers from Rome, an elegant 10th-century castle is offered for sale — a true monument of history and architecture.

Initially, the residence belonged to the knights of the Sovereign Military Order of Malta and later became part of the Roman monastery of San Paolo fuori le Mura. It was only in the 12th century that the castle was named San Polo dei Cavalieri and became a significant strategic point at the intersection of the Sabina and Aniene valleys, attracting the attention of the feudal lords of Marcellina, Palombara Sabina, Montecelio, Tivoli, and the Abbey of San Paolo.

In the second half of the 14th century, the estate passed to the noble Orsini family, who transformed it into a powerful family fortress. In 1558, the Orsini transferred the castle to the Cesi dynasty, who used it as an exquisite summer residence where aristocrats often gathered. It was here, in 1603, under the patronage of Federico Cesi, that the Accademia dei Lincei, one of the first scientific academies in Europe, was founded, with Galileo Galilei among its guests.

After the plague epidemic in 1656, the castle passed to the Borghese family and eventually became part of the Papal States during the unification of Italy.

Now this magnificent castle, covering an area of about 2000 square meters, is presented after a thorough restoration, conducted with great attention to detail and the use of noble materials.

The interiors include luxurious halls and dining rooms adorned with ancient frescoes and large windows offering breathtaking views. The residence also features: an elevator, a private chapel, a stone wine cellar, seven spacious bedrooms with bathrooms, majestic fireplaces from past eras, terraces totaling around 360 m², including a panoramic terrace and a rooftop terrace with a circular view of the surrounding green hills.

This offer is a unique opportunity to acquire a genuine architectural masterpiece with a rich history, located close to the Eternal City.
