Building of the castle started in 882 and was expanded over the years until about 1503. Its main functions where to defend Itri and the via Appia. You can visit the castle via the contact form on it's official website it seems. I haven't done this myself though.

Itri Castle is a medieval fortress, a typical defensive structure intended for territorial control. It was built on the site of a previous fortification. Its position is strategic and the view extends 360 degrees from the Via Appia to the sea, where the attacks could have come from.
