I believe I have identified the castle in this illustration:
It is Toscanella (today known as Tuscania): You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.
It has these baths preserved from inside the castle:
Compare this with the baths in the illustration:
I looked in historical records and the castle used to be a very impressive Ghibelline style fortress with long rows of swallowtailed walls:
Today the castle does not exist any more:
But a sketch from a few hundred years ago reveals its extent:
The village was known in the middle ages for having abundant sulfurous hot springs that were famous bathing places.
I'm getting excited...
