CASTRO (CITY)

:''For the city in the province of Lecce, see Castro (LE).''
'Castro' was an ancient city, believed to have been originally founded by the Latins, on the west side of Lake Bolsena in present-day Italy. It was subject of the Wars of Castro fought between Popes Urban VIII and Innocent X, and the Farnese Dukes of Parma — first Odoardo Farnese and then his son Ranuccio II. The wars ended badly for the city; on the orders of Pope Innocent X, the city was razed on September 2, 1649, and never rebuilt.
