Via Giustiniano Nicolucci, Isola del Liri (Frosinone)
Located near historic center, where Liri River divides the two arms to form an island and two high waterfalls about 30 meters, Grand Cascade and Valcatoio Cascade, Castle was declared National Monument. Fortified center is probably of early Medieval origin, as a bulwark in defense of Sora Plain and the city. By Dukes Della Rovere Castle became the residence and headquarters of political activities of the Lord. Boncompagni family later they acquired the property and in seventeenth century Costanza Sforza transformed military structure into a mansion, commissioned frescoes of biblical inspiration, bas-reliefs and a park.
