Castello Caldora

Castello Cantelmo-Caldora is a Middle Ages castle in Pacentro, Province of L'Aquila (Abruzzo).

History
The castle was built before the 14th-15th century, because at this time was made its first restructuring. The most common assumption is that it dates back to the 11th-13th century, that is the age of the truncated tower placed at the north-east of the castle. A main upgrades was completed in the second half of the 15th century, when the Orsini family built circular towers. Also the construction of the wall with a trapezoidal base is dated back to this period. == Architecture ==

The base of the castle is with a trapezoidal shape. In the corners there are towers with a squared base: as of today, only three of them are still in place. There are also three circular bastions.
