The Castle of Bracciano from the main square, in Central Italy
Bracciano is a small town in the Italian region of Lazio, 30 km northwest of Rome. The main monument of Bracciano is its castle, Castello Orsini-Odescalchi, one of the most noteworthy examples of Renaissance military architecture in Italy. In the castle, richly frescoed friezes and ceilings now contrast with blank walls, which were hung with richly-coloured tapestries when the lords of Bracciano were in residence. Fortunately, the important late 15th century frieze showing the labours of Hercules is still visible. Actors Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes had their wedding in the castle on 18th November 2006.
