    Elegant building built at the end of the 19th century at the behest of the oenologist and Knight of Labor Stanislao Sindici. The project was carried out by Count Giuseppe Sacconi, the architect who designed the Altare della Patria in Rome. The castle was built with local limestone on the model of an ancient medieval fortress and was built in the center of a large park that still surrounds it. The building was initially used as a cellar for storing wine but over the years it has been converted into a meeting place for important artists who gravitated around the Mayors. For example, the Roman painters Aurelio and Cesare Tiratelli are mentioned.

    The famous Gabriele D'Annunzio was also hosted in the elegant residence. In 1928 the Castel Sindici estate was declared an "Area of National Artistic Interest". In the cellars, "Castel Sindici" wine was produced, sold in Italy and abroad, winner of eight gold medals. This wine was much appreciated, so much so that it was mentioned among the fine wines of Lazio in the first edition of 1931 of the "Gastronomic Guide of Italy" of the Italian Touring Club and to be exhibited among the wines of the Italian pavilion of the 1935 World Expo in Brussels. .

    It is still possible today to see the ceramic barrels where the wine was stored, which can be visited during some events. From 1943 the building was requisitioned by the Nazis who used it as the headquarters of the military command of the S.S. The building is currently owned by the Municipal Administration and is being restored. The surrounding park, full of centuries-old trees, is open to the public every day.
