The castle of Bracciano was built for military purposes in the 15th century and several families owned it before ending in possession of the Odescalchis. The castle is a great example of Renaissance architecture and it has crenellated towers and strong walls; in the course of time, it became more and more elegant as it was later used as a house. The last renovation works were carried out in the 19th century and the castle still keeps that aspect making it one of the most beautiful buildings in the region: for this reason, it has been chosen by many an Italian celebrity as the setting for their weddings.
