Castello di Roccascalegna

Castello di Roccascalegna (Italian for Castle of Roccascalegna) is a medieval castle in Roccascalegna, Province of Chieti, Abruzzo, southern Italy.

[2] A steep flight of steps leads from the plain of San Pietro to the entrance where there are the remains of the drawbridge.

A further ramp leads to the watchtower built with both stone masonry and brick with openings on all four sides.
