Our story
Today’s castle occupies a site steeped in history, marking the tenth mile of the ancient Roman road ‘Via Laurentina’. In early medieval times, this location served as a fortification and as a station for changing horses. The castle’s name, ‘Decima’, is a direct reference to ist historic position at this ‘tenth’ – ‘decimo’– mile. Within the castle’s walls, you will also find the picturesque church of Sant’Andrea Apostolo.
