The castle of Itri is divided into two parts: the higher is a fortress with a square tower and one polygonal.
The lower is a third tower keep attached to the main building by a rampart walk.
This tower is called "Crocodile" because, according to tradition, into it were thrown those condemned to death that they could become a meal for a wild animal.
The castle is completed by a set of smaller cylindrical towers that enclose a small parade ground. Today, the castle is the scene of events, film festivals, shows and exhibitions.
For lovers of philately, the castle was immortalized in a famous 750 lire stamp.
