The construction of the Castle of Ostia Antica began in 1483 at the behest of Cardinal Giuliano della Rovere (future Pope Julius II, 1503-1513) and was entrusted to the Florentine architect Baccio Pontelli. The castle still represents a virtuous example of Renaissance military architecture today and can be visited, more info here: ostiaantica.beniculturali.it/it/aree-archeologica-e-monumentali/borgo-di-ostia-antica- e-castello-di-giulio-ii/
