Castello De Sterlich-Aliprandi (Italian for De Sterlich-Aliprandi Castle) is a fortified palace in Nocciano, Province of Pescara (Abruzzo).[1]

Situated between the valleys of Cigno, Pescara, and Nora, the construction of the castle dates back to the year 1000, with the first nucleus consisting of the polygonal tower, which was later incorporated into the current building.
The history of the castle is closely linked to the De Sterlich-Aliprandi family, who were present in Nocciano from the 15th-16th centuries and owned it until the mid-20th century. They transformed its appearance from a defensive structure to a noble residence.
