Rocca Sinibalda

Overview

Located in the easternmost part of Sabina and overlooking the Turano valley, Rocca Sinibalda stands out from afar with its castle dating to 1085 when it was built by feudal lord Sinibaldo Sinibaldi. Rebuilt as a fortress by architect Baldassarre Peruzzi, it was decorated with frescoes that softened the Spartan style; listed as a national monument in 1928, in the 1950s it became the property of the American writer Caresse Crosby, who used it as a meeting place for artists. The entire manor house was restored and reopened in April 2014.
