Toni and I headed to the huge Castle in Bracciano to explore and take a tour. This castle has been featured in over 150 movies throughout the years and has been a place where Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes were married. They even paid all the shop owners in the town to stay closed on their wedding day!

The castle has a lot of history and has no doubt a huge story and one of which is the the Princess of the castle used to have a secret room that had a trap door floor where she would send her “one-night-stands” to their demise…

Each room of the castle is huge and filled with old paintings of the various occupants throughout the ages. Currently half the castle is still occupied by a princess so we didn’t get to see the whole place.

We had a great day and enjoyed the Italian tour guide, but each room had a plaque that explained what was in it.
