Castle Boncompagni Viscogliosi

The magic of the past in the middle of Ciociaria

In the province of Frosinone, among the old stones of the town of Isola del Liri, stands an ancient castle that divides the Liri river in two by a large travertine boulder, creating two large waterfalls that cascade into the town.

This spectacle alone is a perfect reason to visit Isola del Liri. But your attention will also be caught by the Castle Boncompagni Viscogliosi, the first records of which date to 1004. Over time it was enriched, enlarged and embellished, until the rise of the Boncompagni family in the 16th century and transfer of ownership to the Viscogliosi family in 1924. Today, you can admire the finely restored structure and period furniture, accompanied by a guide who will tell you all the building’s secrets.

From a place of prayer to a military structure, from a seat of political activity to a noble residence, the Castle Boncompagni Viscogliosi lets you experience the magic of the past and history in the middle of Ciociaria.
