Lunghezza Castle - a medieval castle named after the town of Lunghezza, in the municipality of Rome. It is located between Via Collatina and Via Tiburtina. The castle is linked to the birth of the Roman Republic. The first nucleus was built on the remains of a Paleolithic settlement and a fortified structure called Collazia, following the expulsion of Tarquin the Proud by Brutus Collatinus, owner of the citadel.[1] It became a Benedictine monastery in the 8th century, and in the 11th century it was owned by the Abbey of Saint Paul Outside the Walls.[2] The building was held for the abbey by various families, including the Counts and the Orsini. The famous Manifesto, drawn up by members of the Colonna family, against Boniface VIII, was signed in the castle. Passed by marriage in the 15th century from the Orsini to the Medici of Florence, it became the property of the Strozzi family.[3] They held it until the early 20th century and it was remodeled and restored several times.
