It's situated at the top of Monte Petrino and today there we can see some towers with different shapes. They were built in different periods and probably there was an old building from which our fortress derives. It was built in medieval time and it was useful to take care of the town, far from dangers (for example, people could see until the see from the top and, so, they were able to observe when their ennemies were arriving or leaving their boats to attack the population and destroy the town). Today some tourists come here to see Mondragone from the top and, sometimes, during the month of september we celebrate Lumina in Castro, a festival of drama to remeber the importance of that fortress since the past; that night our fortress remains enlightened and I find it something really wonderful!
I also remember italian and foreign people who admired the panorama and took photos, first of all in summer time! It was something so nice!
