Castle on Monte Castello that controlled the Volturno valley, with a double ring of walls, a keep and a cistern.

Dragoni Castle dominates the Volturno valley from Monte Castello, a valley it controlled for centuries. It has a square plan and is surrounded by two rings of walls.We like picking out its parts: the quadrangular keep in the south-west corner, a cylindrical tower to the south-east, the entrance on the north side and, inside, vaulted rooms and a circular cistern. We recommend climbing up for the view over the valley.
