Roccasecca dei Volsci. Massimo Baronial Palace

Roccasecca dei Volsci. Massimo Baronial Palace

The baronial palace of Roccasecca dei Volsci was built in 1650 by Cardinal Carlo Camillo Massimo and is an impressive two-storey building with a turret on the roof.

When the aggressions by invaders ended, many castles and medieval fortresses were turned into noble palaces and the towns took on a less defensive appearance.

The stately floor is raised above the pedestrian level and is accessed via a ramp or a ladder.

The entrance is through an imposing door with a small balcony that decorates it at the top.

In the inner courtyard you can see the area for the horse-driven mill, the stables and the cistern for the collection of rainwater.
