The Castle of Gaeta was initially built during the 6th or 7th century and later fortified by Frederick II of Swabia between 1223 and 1226. Currently property of the Italian State, the building occupies an area of 14,100 square meters, comprising two interconnected structures built in different historical periods: the Angevin wing in the lower section, which dates back to Charles I of Anjou, and the Aragonese wing in the upper section, which dates back to Emperor Charles V. The Angevin wing is granted for use to the University of Cassino and Southern Lazio. The University uses the building as a venue for scientific and higher education events, both national and international, as well as other cultural events, taking care of its enhancement and guaranteeing its use in a spirit of sharing the asset with the city. |
