Castles in Italy

You would be hard pressed to find a kid that did not like castles and Italy is full of them. Castles of all shapes and sizes are to be found in Italy, from dilapidated ruins to opulent family estates. Both kids and adults will love walking along the battlements or climbing towers and letting their imaginations run wild. To add to the excitement, some castles have weapons and armor on display like the Doge's Palace in Venice or Castle Sant'Angelo in Rome, which have impressive collections.

Trulli at Alberobello

Many Italian cities and towns have palaces and castles within the city limits, sometimes in the center of town, so transportation is not an issue. Besides castles there are also plenty of other impressive fortifications that can be explored such as city walls and the "Saracen Towers" (used to defend against Turkish pirates) of Italy's southern coast. Although not castles, the fairy-tale Trulli village of Alberobello will have your kid's imaginations running wild. For adventurous families Italy offers hundreds of castles away from the tourist routes in the beautiful countryside and in the mountains. When planning your trip make sure the castles or ruins you plan to visit are open to the public since some can only be viewed from the outside.
