The Rocca dei Colonna was erected on the highest point of the acropolis in 970 AD. The initial building had a square plan with corner towers also with a square base, and housed a cylindrical tower used as a prison. Some famous people were imprisoned there, including San Berardo, bishop of the Marsi, Jacopone da Todi and Corradino di Svevia. Over the centuries, the fortress was destroyed several times; in 1482, the fortress was renovated and the event is remembered by the inscription on the turret of the small bridge "magnificus dominus Stephanus Columna readificavit civitatem cum monte et arte MCDLXXXII".

Today it is managed by the farm of the same name which welcomes visitors with rooms and a restaurant.

Genazzano is an Italian town in the province of Rome. This picturesque place offers a mix of medieval history, contemporary art and natural beauty.

Genazzano is a jewel of the Prenestini mountains. In addition to its architectural beauties from the Colonna era (the castle and Bramante's nymphaeum), it is worth visiting on the first Sunday of July for the Infiorata. On this day the streets of the town are covered with artistic carpets. Just in 2012 Genazzano won the Guinness record for the largest carpet of flower petals in the world!

Gorgeous landscapes

Really nice village to cross by bicycle

An interesting village to visit which has a medieval part, the old village, all leaning against the magnificent castle, and a seventeenth-century part called Borgo Pio, the new village.
