4 Best Day Trips from Rome

"This imposing castle built by Pope Pius II in 1461 was used as a prison until the 1960s. The inside is closed to the public, so most people just stop by to snap some photos on their way to the Villa d'Este or Villa Adriana. Seeing this medieval landmark is a good reminder that Tivoli—like Rome—is a potpourri of architectural styles due to its long history." - Laura Itzkowitz, Arlene Gibbs

Free! Small but well kept medieval castle. Was an art show on while we visited. Would have liked to access the towers and amphitheater as well.

Definitely not free. Not sure what John did that made him think that it was. It's a nice small castle but for €6 admission it's not really worth it. There isn't much on display and you can get all the pictures you need from outside.

A small fortified castle museum. I visited this castle during the tour group's lunch break, entry is free and it features on the history of the castle and has a top floor viewing platform. The staff is very friendly and don't forget to set aside half an hour during your time in Tivoli to visit this place!

Great for a short excursion while doing a walking trip in Tivoli. The entrance was free. No wait time, and there is lots of information in several rooms.

This is only a review from the outside. We were on a tour so didn't have time to venture inside. Having never seen a castle before, I was super excited. Looking forward to one day hopefully returning and seeing the interior.
