Description Ref. 5832
Historical Residence with Panoramic View near the Gates of Rome
An exquisite 10th-century castle is offered for sale - a true monument of history and architecture located in the picturesque San Polo dei Cavalieri, just a few kilometers from Rome.
The castle, named San Polo dei Cavalieri, became an important strategic point at the crossroads of the Sabina and Aniene valleys as early as the 12th century, attracting the interest of feudal lords from Marcello, Palombara Sabina, Montecelio, Tivoli, and the San Paolo abbey.
In the second half of the 14th century, the estate passed to the noble Orsini family, who turned it into a powerful family fortress. The Orsini family transferred the castle to the Chezi dynasty in 1558, who used it as an exquisite summer residence for the aristocracy. In 1603, the Accademia dei Lincei was founded here under the patronage of Federico Chezi, where Galileo Galilei visited.
After the plague epidemic in 1656, the castle passed to the Borghese family and subsequently became part of the Papal States during the unification of Italy.
Today, this magnificent castle, covering an area of about 2000 sq.m., is presented after careful restoration using noble materials and attention to detail.
The residence includes luxurious halls and dining rooms with ancient frescoes and large windows offering breathtaking views. Inside the castle, there is also an elevator, a private chapel, a wine cellar, seven spacious bedrooms with bathrooms, majestic fireplaces, terraces of about 360 sq.m, including a panoramic one and a rooftop terrace, with a 360-degree view of the hills.
This is a unique opportunity to acquire an architectural masterpiece with a rich history, located near the Eternal City.
