In the heart of Tuscia Torre Alfina a fairy-tale village rises, evoking an atmosphere of other times with its narrow streets and stone houses. Counted among the most beautiful medieval villages in Italy, Torre Alfina is dominated by the beauty of its Castle. An imposing manor house with neo-gothic features with four towers and high stone walls, is often chosen as a wedding location due to its elegance.Alfina according to some would derive from the latin for fines, which would indicate its location on the borders (fines) of the plateau with respect to the municipal territory of Orvieto that dominated, while according to others the appellative Alfina would have been added to identify it with the geographical location on the eponymous plateau and to distinguish it from the nearby tower of San Severo.
The first historical notations regarding the existence of a tower of sighting the we in Comentarii Historici of Monaldo Monaldeschi della Cervara, which speaks of a fortified tower transformed into a castle during the Lombard kingdom of King Desiderio (VIII century). And it is precisely the family of the Monaldeschi first, and his branch of Cervara then, will be the lords of the castle and the owners of many of the lands around, from 1200 to 1700.
