We found an abandoned 1,000-year-old castle for sale in Italy, and it still has everything inside. From its origins in 1029 to its occupation during WWII, this mountain fortress has seen a millennium of power, exile, and decay.

Dante Alighieri lived here in the 1300s, and while the doors were briefly reopened in the 1980s, the castle has fallen back into a deep, furnished sleep. Join us as we explore the 1.2-million-euro ruin that time and the world forgot.

  1. Not a medieval chandelier. C'mon now. I'd be more interested of a historian was with you guys, the guessing is tiresome.

  2. With our world of technology that we live in, it would be amazing if they could make a run of that as a museum. But how would you get cell service and any modern amenities to be able to function without being online? It would be hard to advertise a museum or any kind of business in a place like that being so remote. But just wow! This is amazing! This would be an awesome place to have the museum restored and also to have a bed-and-breakfast with all kinds of medieval events going on all around the property and a restaurant and all of that it would take a fortune but wow, what an awesome place!

  3. Id seen this popped up months ago on a luxury real estate website I monitor. Its currently out of my price range otherwise I would consider it to preserve history.

  4. I was visiting Italy 2 years ago for 3 months is a very lovely place.
    Anche a me a piaciuto molto guardare tutto questo video, molto interessante and beauty.
    Yo soy mexicana y desde aquí les escribo; magnífico trabajo ❤ que hicieron! 😅

  5. REALLY loved this one! Fascinating history, especially the fact that Dante stayed there at one point. 😮 You are truly fearless standing on the tip top of this castle! Thank you for bringing us on another epic adventure!

  6. Being somewhat knowledgable about old things my family dealt in high antiques. I really wish they knew more about antiquities. They know absolutely nothing and just make things up. "This is from 1139" Bro that's early 20th century. Calling electric chandelier's "medieval" is crazy. You can make them with wiring but we see "through" wiring 😂 Almost everything in that home is post 1880. The ugly chandelier with the wood, that was the only possible medieval chandelier they used the wood to cover wiring and make it electric.

  7. Love this castle!
    Am I mistaken no kitchen? 🤔 🙂
    I'm always amazed of different castle kitchens 😊
    Thank for your videos…

  8. I believe 'portcullis' is the term you were searching for, rather than draw bars. A draw bar would be a horizontal wooden post mounted loose in a recessed hole in the wall in such a way that it could be drawn across the inside of the gate/door once it was closed, subsequently preventing it from being forced open without resorting to completely destroying the entire gate/door. And yeah, you're absolutely correct in thinking the mechanism is for the portcullis. that's exactly what it's purpose was. It's incredibly rare to see that mechanism still in place, even if it is no longer functional/connected to the gate anymore. Usually those get either robbed out by relic hunters, sold off by the owners either for scrap or to a collector or another castle owner, but whatever the reason, they're almost always missing nowadays, or if there is one it's almost always a replacement or modern reconstruction, and probably not even the same design or form as the original. That's suuuuuper cool to see for an obsessive castle nerd like myself.. those old wrought-iron pulleys and clockwork mechanisms are incredibly neat, and even more incredibly rare. Honestly, in my opinion, that is one of the coolest features in that entire place. In the top three at least, for sure. Another would be that murder hole you found above the "reception room." Im not sure if you realized what it was you were looking at at the time, but you don't see those too often not directly placed in a gateway. The only other one I personally know of that's in a random room and not a gateway is in the keep at the Chateau de Vincennes in Paris, where for some reason there's a murder hole above the royal study. I haven't a clue why without having to go digging for the answer, if it's even known why at all.

  9. Iike looking at all those old things but those guys know nothing about history, it feels like they're guessing half the time
