Frangipane Castle in Terracina: a thousand years of history and two papal inscriptions
Frangipane Castle is located in Via Anxur 120, in Terracina. The original core likely dates back to the late 10th century. Between the 14th and 15th centuries, the castle underwent several expansions. On the east wall, two inscriptions are still visible documenting the works commissioned by Pope Eugenius III, highlighting the castle's role in the Papal control of the Pontine territory.

During the Second World War the castle was severely damaged. Today, only the imposing keep (the oldest part of the complex) and a portion of the south wing remain. While the site is not currently accessible to the public, these structures are clearly visible from the outside.
