Ancient Italian Castle - Agenzia del Demanio

Your home should be like your castle. Now your home or business could actually be an ancient castle! Italy has a new initiative called CAMMINI E PERCORSI (ROUTES and PATHS) that offers over 100 castles, farmhouses, and monasteries to both citizens and non-citizens. The project’s goal is to develop the ‘slow tourism’ sector through public-private partnerships that make use of vacant and dilapidated buildings across the country.

A historic cottage is free if you move it off the property to another site. The structure is currently boarded up and in disrepair. It is located on 2715 Broad Rock Blvd., in South Richmond. The house was built around 1885 as part of a Confederate Soldiers’ Home. It was part of the Robert E. Lee Camp, #1, Confederate Veterans Home. The building was formerly located on the present campus of the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts. The former site was 36-acre tract of farmland called The Grove; bound by Boulevard, Grove Ave, Sheppard, and Kensington Ave. Between 1885 and 1941, the property was a large complex for poor and infirm Civil War veterans. The camp was built with private funds, including donations from both former Confederate and Union soldiers, including General Ulysses S. Grant.
