As it stood in 1558
The shape it held in its prime.
A massive rectangular stone keep with four large cylindrical corner towers linked by high curtain walls and a continuous crenellated parapet; towers rise with corbelled machicolations beneath their battlements. The exterior is pale grey volcanic stone with small rectangular windows punctuating the façades and a narrow projecting timber-or-iron balcony on the main wall. The roofline is defined by regular merlons; the castle stands above the southern shore of Lake Bracciano, appearing complete and continuously roofed in its prime.
