- Desde: 8.25 € 
- Duración: 1 h
- Temporada: Weekends in winter; the foundation's visit calendar
- Para quién: History, families, combining with Ninfa

The medieval fortress of the Caetani above the village of Sermoneta, with towers, walls and painted rooms; only with a one-hour guided tour in fixed time slots.

The castle dominates Sermoneta, a medieval stone village on the slope of the Lepini mountains, above the Pontine plain. It belonged to the Caetani from the end of the 13th century; the Borgias occupied and reinforced it for a few years at the end of the 15th, before it returned to the family. Today it is run by the same foundation as the Garden of Ninfa.
How to visit
Only with an official guide, in a group and on a fixed route, in time slots; the visit lasts about an hour and covers courtyards, walls, towers and rooms with frescoes. Tickets are bought on the Garden of Ninfa website: in November 2026 there are tours on Saturdays and Sundays, at €8.25 online. Check each month's calendar.
How to combine it
Ninfa is about 9 km away, half an hour by car on a mountain road according to the foundation. On the days the garden is open, the classic plan is Ninfa in the morning and the castle and village in the afternoon. In winter, with the garden closed, the castle and the village make a good Sunday morning.
