The castle of Bolsena, also known as the Monaldeschi della Cervara fortress, is an ancient structure whose history has its roots in the year 1000, when it was commissioned by Pope Adrian IV as a defense against the threats of the time. Over the centuries, it passed to the Monaldeschi in 1295, undergoing renovations in the 14th century and, more recently, an impressive restoration between 1989 and 1990. This castle, now transformed into the territorial museum of Lake Bolsena, offers a fascinating exhibition of Etruscan, Roman and medieval finds, distributed over three floors.

The Fortezza di Bolsena, also known as Rocca Monaldeschi, is an impressive castle that dominates the panorama of the village and the lake below. Built by the Orvietani in 1295, it was later transformed by the Monaldeschi, one of the most important families of Orvieto1. Although they never occupied it, the castle is now home to the Museo Territoriale del Lago di Bolsena. It offers a breathtaking view.
