The origin of the name of the Roman castles dates back to the fourteenth century, when many inhabitants of Rome took refuge in the castles of Roman feudal families such as: Savelli, Annibaldi, Orsini and Colonna, to escape the economic and political difficulties caused by the Avignon Prison. The Roman castles are located on the hills, in the area of the Alban hills, a short distance from each other; this holiday day will give you the opportunity to visit the main hill towns of Nemi, Ariccia and Castel Gandolfo; in the whole area of the castles, agriculture is the main economic and employment resource, together with the production of excellent and renowned wines.

Highly recommend this tour. Nemi was an interesting little town. But the high point was Castel Gandolfo and the one time Summer residence of the Pope. The audio guide tour was informative and the display of papal vehicles was a highlight. Our guide recommended lunch at Ristorante Pagnanelli where we a an excellent lunch while enjoying the magnificent lake view.
