La Rocca

Little or nothing is known of the origins of the Rocca, which was undoubtedly rebuilt at the behest of Cardinal Egidio Albornoz in 1366.

In the 15th century, the Rocca was in the hands of the tyrant Antonio Colonna, who led the Ortani to finally demolish it in 1431, during a revolt.

Few fragments remain of the Albornoz castle, most of which can be found in the foundations of the buildings that occupy the site.

📍 Alberti Palace

With its severe and elegant lines, it was built between 1598 and 1602 by the Orte branch of the Alberti family.

Rising on the ruins of the Albornoz Fortress, it is one of the five palaces that the Alberti family left in Orte.

On the main floor, an elegant hall features 17th-18th century fresco cycles.
