The mystery of Lucrezia Borgia's Borgia Castle

Enter the enigma of Lucrezia Borgia's personal refuge: the Borgia Castle in Nepi.

Lucrezia Borgia, daughter of Rodrigo Borgia, later Pope Alexander VI, found a home in Borgia Castle in Nepi, Italy. Originally refurbished in the 15th century, the castle was expanded by the Cardinal himself as a gift to Lucrezia, who was the Governor of Nepi at the time. The castle, further renovated by the Farnese dynasty during the 16th century, was sketched by artist J.M.W. Turner in 1819, a work now kept at the Tate Britain. Today, the castle stands as a testament to the Italian Renaissance, enticing visitors to explore its grandeur and unravel its mysteries.
