0:00Deep in the rural mountains sits this
0:02massive abandoned castle [music] that's
0:03been standing here for a thousand years.
0:06Originally built as a medieval fortress
0:08for one of the world's most powerful
0:10families, this place sits on top of the
0:12tallest mountain in the area to once
0:14protect [music] against enemy attacks.
0:16With a massive tower standing over a
0:18hundred feet tall, underground tunnels,
0:21a torture room, a private chapel, and so
0:24much more. But that's not all. It even
0:26has connections to famous poet Dante
0:29Alighieri who apparently stayed here and
0:31wrote about it over 700 years ago.
0:34Through generations, the castle went
0:36through wars, different owners, and
0:38ultimately it was abandoned only to be
0:40restored in the 1980s and turned into a
0:42museum which failed and the castle was
0:45abandoned again. Now everything is still
0:47left inside including ancient artifacts
0:50and belongings from hundreds of years
0:51ago. But before we dive deeper into its
0:54history, we have to make the difficult
0:56journey over to it and find [music] a
0:57way inside. Now this journey wasn't
1:00going to be easy. We had a steep
1:02mountain ahead of us.
1:03>> It's so slippery.
1:09It's like wet from the morning dew.
1:11>> You got to make do with the morning dew.
1:13>> [music]
1:13>> At first we thought we just had to climb
1:15the mountain, but when we got up we
1:17realized that there was another [music]
1:18obstacle.
1:19>> There's like a piece of the ladder up
1:20there. It looks like this is like the
1:22easiest way.
1:23>> Easy enough.
1:25Oh.
1:26As sketchy as this climb was, it was our
1:28only shot into getting into this place
1:30as everything else was locked.
1:32>> We tried a GoPro right about now. Didn't
1:34think I'd be having to do all this.
1:35>> And then it was my turn.
1:41>> Silent, bro. It's gone.
1:44Wait. Wait, hold it up. Hold it up.
1:47>> [laughter]
1:50>> Yeah, get all the water you can out of
1:51there, bro. We're not getting any water
1:53today.
1:55>> [laughter]
1:56>> And after losing our only water bottle,
1:58it was my turn for the climb.
2:01Dude, how did the water go that bad?
2:03Dude, it hit like all the possible
2:05spikes.
2:06>> Careful, I wouldn't trust this. It might
2:07open.
2:08>> Yeah.
2:09Easy dubs.
2:11Mad tall, by the way.
2:13Let's go. You made it.
2:14>> [music]
2:15>> After doing all that, we thought the
2:16hard part was over, but we soon found
2:18out that the biggest and most [music]
2:20dangerous obstacle was yet to come. But
2:23first, let's talk about the castle's
2:25history. The earliest record mentioning
2:27it is from the year 1029,
2:30[music] and its owners were the
2:31Malaspina family, who controlled the
2:33surrounding region for centuries. But
2:36the castle wasn't just used for
2:37protection against enemy attacks, but it
2:40also served as a place where important
2:42political figures, scholars, and artists
2:44would [music] gather. It is reported
2:46that in the early 1300s, famous poet
2:49Dante Alighieri stayed here for a period
2:52of time. I even found a local historical
2:54town article that says Dante Alighieri
2:57also stayed at the castle, where he
2:59found inspiration for some of his
3:01writings. And in his most famous book,
3:03The Divine Comedy, Dante praises the
3:06Malaspina [music] family's reputation,
3:08hospitality, and honor, the same people
3:10that owned the castle. But back to the
3:13history, through generations, [music] it
3:15kept changing ownership, and during
3:17World War II, it was even occupied by
3:19the military. Then in the 1980s, it went
3:22through a major restoration and was
3:24eventually opened as a museum before
3:26closing down around 2018. [music]
3:29After that, it was abandoned yet again,
3:31and everything was left behind,
3:33including centuries-old artifacts,
3:35historic paintings, medieval weapons,
3:38and so much more. So, we're going to be
3:40starting this video off at the courtyard
3:41right here. I mean, there's so much to
3:43see. It looks like that's a private
3:45chapel. We have this massive tower that
3:47goes up so high.
3:49And then we have this section over here,
3:51too. [music] I mean, this place was
3:52built so long ago, so who knows what
3:55we're going to find. Now, we did a
3:56little bit of looking around and this
3:58whole area is completely locked off. So,
4:02we're going to have to do something
4:03pretty difficult to get inside. We're
4:05going to have to somehow climb on this
4:06roof and then go through the tiniest
4:09window known to man. So, I'm definitely
4:11not excited to do that, but before we do
4:13that, we're going to explore that
4:15section first.
4:16>> Yeah, the climb in here was already hard
4:18enough and now we're going to have to
4:19climb again to get into this main
4:20structure, but I think the stuff behind
4:21me should be pretty good.
4:23>> I mean, I can only imagine. Probably the
4:25bedroom is all the way up there. Maybe
4:26we can get on the roof. There should be
4:28a [music] crazy view. So, we'll check
4:30out the chapel as well later, but first
4:32let's go in this whole section. So yeah,
4:34we got this like big well over here just
4:36in the middle. This probably goes down
4:38so far deep.
4:40Let's see if we open this up.
4:43Oh my gosh, yeah.
4:44Ew, that water's disgusting. Imagine
4:46falling through that.
4:47But yeah, there's definitely going to be
4:48a crazy basement tunnel systems, maybe a
4:50jail. But yeah, with that, let's get in
4:53here.
4:53>> Here's my house tour. Bought this place,
4:55you know. This is my castle.
4:57>> Yeah, give us a tour.
4:58>> Can you turn the lights on here?
5:00There you go.
5:01>> I think your lights are broken, bro.
5:02>> Yo, this is looking insane.
5:03>> Is it actually? Oh my gosh.
5:07No shot. Everything is still in here.
5:09Yo, this is crazy. All right, so we're
5:11going to start over here. We have so
5:13much to see. First off, what I'm most
5:15excited about is to see this view cuz we
5:17are on top of a massive hill. I mean,
5:20imagine way back then when they built a
5:22castle, people are going to invade it.
5:24So, they need to make it at the highest
5:25point possible. Look at all this
5:27furniture. This is so insane. We're in a
5:30real medieval castle and it's just left
5:32abandoned.
5:33I mean, imagine how much this stuff is
5:34worth. All right, we got this for
5:36example and all of the cabinets and
5:37everything, they're still full. I cannot
5:40read Italian, I'll be honest, so I'm not
5:42going to even try to butcher this, but
5:44this looks like a a family tree maybe.
5:47If you guys do know Italian, though,
5:48definitely read it and let me know in
5:50the comments cuz I'm so curious about
5:51it.
5:52And this leads to a What the heck? A
5:55modern kitchen, actually. Or somewhat
5:57modern, I don't know.
5:58What in the world? Okay, so this was
6:00definitely renovated, this part right
6:01here.
6:02Yeah, that's really random. Look at the
6:04moss.
6:05It's literally transforming the walls
6:07green.
6:08But, yeah, we don't want to see that
6:09stuff. We just want to go back over
6:11here, back to the old stuff. So, that's
6:13where we got in. Crazy entrance, but
6:15everything around here is just stone
6:17and wood, which is so cool to me.
6:20These tables, the chairs, we got all the
6:22books
6:23still in there. I'm seeing the dates
6:251940, 1936, 1933. So, these are stupid
6:29old. I wouldn't be surprised if there's
6:31any from the 1800s.
6:33Now, I bet unfortunately people have
6:35been in here. They probably stole
6:37whatever was in there, maybe something
6:39really expensive. But, I mean, a lot of
6:41it is still left behind, which is cool.
6:44The sconces there, this would have been
6:45real candles just burning on the walls.
6:47Would have been so sick. And these are I
6:49I don't know. These might be the
6:50original owners of this place.
6:52Oh, and these might be the brothers that
6:54decided to buy this place and fix it up.
6:56That's really sad seeing this, actually,
6:58because their dream literally just fell
7:00apart. I feel so bad for them. This is
7:02of the nearby town. Wow, there's a town
7:04right by here with like 30 people only.
7:07So, this place is really in the middle
7:09of nowhere. Look at the fireplace. I
7:11mean, this place was built back in the
7:12day. They didn't have heat or anything,
7:14so they need fireplaces in pretty much
7:16every room to keep warm.
7:18Yeah, this room is so big. So much more.
7:20This is the Italian flag. Very old one.
7:22I mean, look how color faded the red and
7:24green is. So much history. And look at
7:26this, Dante. I think we're going to see
7:29a lot of things related to Dante because
7:31he even wrote [music] about this castle.
7:34That's kind of creepy. That's really
7:35creepy. Her face just disintegrated.
7:38We've even have another Italian flag
7:40here. This one is even in worse shape as
7:43the one we just saw.
7:45Definitely a long time ago. I mean, look
7:46at this.
7:48It's so messed up.
7:49Oh my gosh, I cannot wait to look at
7:50this. A sneak peek of the view we're
7:52going to get.
7:53Holy cow. I mean, look. We are in the
7:56middle of nowhere. There's nothing
7:57around here.
8:06>> [music]
8:17>> Yeah, if this is what the first room is
8:18going to look like, I cannot wait to
8:20keep exploring this place. Now, we do
8:22have a small room over here. I wonder
8:24what this is. We can miss anything here.
8:26Okay, yeah, we honestly could have
8:27missed this.
8:28There's pretty much nothing here.
8:30Okay, we got a doorway, so we can go
8:32around. Hopefully, everything connects
8:34to each [music] other, so we don't have
8:35to keep going in and out, yeah. Looks
8:37like we can go down from here.
8:39And then this is just some sort of
8:40closet area, very hoarded. But wow, I
8:43mean, this place is like already kind of
8:45like a maze. There's a stairway after
8:47stairway, room after room. [music]
8:50This is very interesting. I mean, look
8:52at this. The stairs are all just stone.
8:54[music]
8:55This is probably completely original.
8:57Now, obviously, you could tell they
8:58renovated some parts to make it look
9:00somewhat modern, like this bathroom.
9:02Obviously, this is not what bathrooms
9:04look like when this place was built, but
9:07it's cool they added this like stained
9:08glass looking thing.
9:10Oh my gosh.
9:13Wow. Holy cow, that's insane.
9:17Yeah, this looks like it could be one of
9:19the craziest places we've ever seen.
9:22Who is that? That looks so old. I mean,
9:24the painting's just cracking on itself.
9:26Another like big family tree. I mean,
9:28look at from there all the way
9:31to here. Oh my gosh, look at this. The
9:33year 811.
9:36And it goes down all the way
9:39to like the 1900s. That's 1988. So, this
9:42family tree starts not even in the year
9:441000.
9:44>> [music]
9:45>> And it goes to where we are now. That's
9:47absolutely crazy. Oh, this is the
9:49restoration of this place.
9:51Look at that.
9:53But all of this furniture is probably
9:54original. This was probably [music]
9:56all inside.
9:57Yeah, here's more photos of it. Yeah,
9:59that's the well. That's the courtyard we
10:00saw.
10:01That's the way we got in.
10:03Uh this is so sad this is abandoned.
10:06It looks like they really cared about
10:07it.
10:08Woah, what the heck is this?
10:10Oh,
10:11yeah, we do not want to step there.
10:14That looks like a massive drop into some
10:16dungeon below us. Okay, that's going to
10:18be insane whatever's over there. Got a
10:20piano. We got to obviously find out if
10:22it works.
10:24>> [music]
10:25>> And those windows, those are very cool
10:27because that would be used for archers
10:29way back in the day. If this place was
10:31being attacked, people would just sit up
10:32there and shoot arrows out. Yeah, this
10:34is crazy. Look at this. So, we got to go
10:36down here a little bit. We have this
10:38like stone overview area, but Oh, oh my
10:41gosh. I mean, you could kind of
10:43obviously tell that this was a museum
10:45just cuz of all this stuff, but I mean,
10:47it's just so crazy. Oh, look at that,
10:49Dante. Another reference to Dante. And
10:52this could be him at this very castle.
10:54Now, what is this? Oh, there's another
10:56way down. I think that's like a
10:57basement. That's a little creepy. I
10:59wouldn't be surprised if there's like a
11:00dungeon, a torture room, or something
11:02like that.
11:03We got so many pamphlets on this place.
11:06Yeah, that is what we are inside of
11:08right now. And that is the place we got
11:10to get in. It's locked, but we got to go
11:12through that small window.
11:14Hopefully, we're able to do that. But
11:15guys, I'm amazed so far about this
11:17place. I don't even know what to say.
11:19So, leave your thoughts down in the
11:20comments what you guys think this place
11:22was. Your favorite room? What you're
11:23excited to see cuz I love hearing what
11:24you guys think. Okay, so just like a big
11:27throne here that's pretty cool. But it
11:29looks like it's about to get really
11:31crazy over here. Now, what is this? This
11:34Oh, wow. Look at that. Those That could
11:36be a noble family, and they're sitting
11:39right over there. Those are the exact
11:41chairs. I mean, to be pictured like
11:43that, on display, those might definitely
11:46be famous people, for sure. Huh, or they
11:49could have been sitting there.
11:50Kind of hard to tell.
11:52Yeah, so another fireplace. This is
11:54really big. That could be like the
11:55original family crest, and this was
11:58probably like the main like dining
12:00table. The head of the family would be
12:02over there. Big family sitting down, and
12:05the kitchen was probably for servants.
12:07So, it's just going to be some random
12:09like area, not too fancy at all. But, I
12:11mean, this is nuts. There's like pillars
12:14and statues everywhere.
12:16Yeah, this stuff is beyond old. So
12:19dusty, too. I mean, this stuff has not
12:21been touched in a long time. Like a
12:23shield, a sword as well to match it.
12:27Holy bugs buzzing around, too. There are
12:29bees absolutely everywhere. Just
12:31creating a racket. Wow, look at this
12:34view. This is so beautiful. Imagine
12:36having dinner here
12:37to this candlelight.
12:39>> [music]
12:39>> Yeah, more natural lighting. Love to see
12:41that.
12:42And who is this? That might be some
12:43queen that lived here once upon a time.
12:46What is this?
12:47Mhm.
12:48That might be the artist or the name of
12:50this woman.
12:52Where is this guy? Looks like it's
12:53locked. Is it locked? No. Oh. Okay. So,
12:57that is that.
12:58Yeah, what even is this? Some very
13:00interesting like electric sconce.
13:02Yeah, this is this room. [music]
13:20And one thing I actually noticed over
13:21here, this is a whole other way. So, we
13:24can now go over there, or
13:27we could go over there. Um, I don't
13:29know, that honestly looks like a
13:31dungeon. So, we're going to save that
13:32for a little bit later, and we're going
13:34to go over here first.
13:36Okay, so let's pass by this stuff. It's
13:38more renovation pictures, pretty cool.
13:40That is probably the well over there.
13:42But yeah, this is a little creepy coming
13:44down here alone. It looks like
13:46just [music] the darkness, the abyss
13:48that we're walking into.
13:50I definitely wish this light was still
13:51on, but no, there's no power here.
13:55Ooh, okay.
13:56Mhm. So, it's like a dead end over here,
13:58just like some small random room. But
14:01yeah, again, it's all stone. Oh, look,
14:03that's the glass we saw up there that we
14:05were walking on. Not too much crazy
14:08stuff happening here. That's the name of
14:10the place, and it's the 11th century.
14:13That's so insane to think about this
14:14place was built 1,000 years ago. This is
14:17definitely, hands down, the oldest
14:19abandoned place I've ever been to. So,
14:21this just leads back outside.
14:23Got like a chest over here. Obviously,
14:25we have to see what's inside.
14:27>> [sighs and gasps]
14:29[snorts]
14:29>> Pretty much nothing.
14:30That was really lame.
14:32>> [music]
14:32>> A freshy doll 400, okay. Oh, same name.
14:37But yeah, this is not too crazy, so
14:40we're going to get on out of here.
14:42Now we'll go over here. Ooh.
14:44Okay. Uh, no, this is not a dungeon.
14:46Dang it. Oh, it might be. It keeps on
14:49going. Okay, so let's skip by this
14:51boring room.
14:52The floors look a little funky.
14:55But yeah, I think we're good.
14:57Oh my gosh. Okay, this might be
14:59something insane.
15:01Ooh.
15:02Oh.
15:03We just have we found like a torture
15:05chamber or something.
15:07Oh my gosh.
15:09Look at all these tools.
15:11Oh.
15:12Woah, this is the well.
15:14That's what we lifted up before, and it
15:16goes right down
15:18to that murky water. How deep do you
15:20think that is?
15:22Yeah, we even have like the the
15:23mechanism here
15:24and it's attached to the the bucket. But
15:27oh my gosh, what even is this stuff?
15:30Like I know it's probably farming
15:31equipment, but I don't know. I also have
15:34a feeling this could be some stuff for
15:35torture. So they definitely did that
15:37stuff back then. Like this, what could
15:39this possibly
15:40be used for?
15:42Whoa.
15:44Oh my gosh, did we just find tunnels?
15:48Holy crap, these are underground
15:49tunnels.
15:51Do they go far? Oh, they go far down.
15:54Okay, I got to call TwoSwag to explore
15:55this with me because we just found
15:57underground tunnels. Bro, TwoSwag, where
16:00are you? You won't believe what I just
16:01found. Dude, I found underground tunnels
16:03in like a dungeon area.
16:05>> You did?
16:05>> Bro, I I I didn't go inside. We have to
16:07go down there. Dude, this could be
16:09insane. So I bet these tunnels were used
16:11in case this place was attacked and like
16:13the owners had to make a quick escape.
16:15So who knows where they could go to.
16:17Dude, what do you think?
16:18>> I'm nervous, but you said you just
16:20randomly asked me to go to underground
16:22tunnels with you.
16:23>> Yeah. Dude, I was in like the dungeon.
16:25>> [music]
16:25>> And you bring me to this dungeon?
16:26>> Yeah, it's low-key a dungeon with like
16:29weird torture stuff.
16:30>> Yo, this part is crazy.
16:32>> Yeah. I want to get your reaction going
16:34down there.
16:34>> I'm scared. You're doing the light and
16:36the light.
16:36>> The light? Yeah, you can have the light.
16:38You lead the way. Okay, that room is
16:40low-key boring, but then keep going and
16:42you'll see it.
16:43>> good? Is the floor going to collapse?
16:44>> I hope hopefully not. It looked a little
16:46funky.
16:47But no, look to the right. That's where
16:49the tunnels
16:50>> Oh my gosh.
16:51>> Yeah, but dude, look over there. That's
16:53the [music] freaking tunnels. Where do
16:54you think that goes?
16:55>> It probably leads like all around the
16:57castle like for escapes [music]
16:59>> Yeah.
16:59>> and whatnot.
17:00>> Should we go down?
17:01>> You got to lead the way.
17:02>> Me?
17:02>> Yeah.
17:02>> Oh, nah. Okay, fine, fine, fine. Yeah,
17:05I'm a little nervous going down here.
17:06This could honestly collapse as well
17:08because this is just [music] dirt. Oh,
17:11oh nah. Bro,
17:12>> You could go down there. I'm not going
17:14down there.
17:14>> No? Oh, nah. Okay.
17:17>> Oh.
17:17>> oh looks like a dead end, maybe.
17:19Is it a dead end?
17:20>> I don't know. The echo is insane, too.
17:25Oh, it looks like it's flooded over
17:27here. We got to walk on this. [music]
17:28It's super muddy.
17:31But, oh, wow. Look at this.
17:33Imagine the tunnel could keep going down
17:36there. There could be a ladder or
17:37something. I wouldn't be surprised. But,
17:40yeah, this is the dead end. [music]
17:41Yeah, that's a little disappointing that
17:43it's a dead end, but I really believe
17:45that that flooded part is like a way
17:47[music] deep down underground, and it's
17:49just flooded. No one can see it anymore.
17:51>> No. No. No. No.
17:53>> Oh, bro. I was about to close the door
17:55on you, and you just You read my
17:57thoughts. Oh, no. I'm stuck here.
17:59>> bro.
18:00>> Please, hopefully nothing come out of
18:01that water there.
18:05All right. You try Try me. Did you just
18:07wait? You just wait.
18:08>> Wait, look. Lock it on me. I'm going to
18:09see if I can get out. Wait, can you even
18:10move this? Is it too rusty?
18:12Oh, you can do it.
18:13>> Oh, I can lock this. Okay.
18:19>> I see you cannot get out of here.
18:21>> Bro, it's stuck. Dude, that's like a
18:22jail.
18:22>> What if you just left? Wait, this might
18:24be a jail cell.
18:25>> It might be a jail cell, yeah. Well,
18:27well, you're stuck there, buddy.
18:29Well, bye-bye, bro. Oh.
18:31>> Huh?
18:31>> Okay, well, you just got out.
18:33>> How did I just
18:34>> I I couldn't get all the way over there.
18:35I couldn't even like went all the way
18:36in. But, yeah, that is the secret
18:38tunnel. It's also maybe a jail. All
18:40right, guys. Well, as I said before,
18:41this place is pretty much a maze. So, we
18:43are now done with the first section. So,
18:45now we're back in the courtyard. We have
18:47to make it into that chapel, and then
18:48somehow get into there, cuz that's
18:50definitely probably the coolest part of
18:52this whole place. Yeah. What in the
18:54world? This is so cool. I mean, look at
18:56that. That's another [snorts] entrance
18:58to this place. It's chained off, but
19:00it's just gates. It's like metal bars.
19:02Like, there's no way you can get in
19:03here. We even have that like spinny
19:05thing and a bell.
19:07Who knows what that would be for? Maybe
19:08a bell to alert if if were intruders
19:10coming. But, I did see an like a open
19:12door over here. Wow, look at this.
19:15These chains are huge. I mean, imagine
19:18you're in the 11th century, you're a
19:20king, you walk up here for the first
19:21time,
19:23and this is your place. That would be so
19:25sick.
19:26Now, where does this lead? This door
19:27looks really secured, I'm not going to
19:29lie. That's a thick wooden door with
19:32bars on it. Oh, no way, it's like a wine
19:34cellar. Oh, sick. Yes, we have all this
19:37like place to put wines in. That would
19:39be Oh, yeah, this is like open the cork.
19:42And we got all this wine. Those look
19:44empty, but then these
19:46I think these look full. Wait.
19:48Yeah, that's full of wine.
19:51Wow. Yeah, like 50% of these are full of
19:54wine. Look at that one. That's unopened,
19:55too. Imagine how old some of these are.
19:58But, this is cool. It's a small room,
20:00doesn't go anywhere, but wine cellar is
20:02pretty neat.
20:04We got another bell, too. I kind of want
20:06to ring it, but I'm scared it's going to
20:07be loud. [music]
20:08Okay, we're going to ring it really
20:09quiet.
20:12Oh.
20:13Hopefully, that doesn't echo through the
20:14town. Yeah, imagine we could pull that
20:16full force. That'd be so loud. Well,
20:19that's where the bees are coming from.
20:21It's so overgrown. These vines are
20:23taking over this place.
20:25Well, I think this is the chapel. So,
20:27hopefully, we can get in here, and then
20:28we'll figure out a way
20:30to get in there, the tower. Oh, this is
20:32definitely the chapel. We got the cross
20:34up there. So, I've noticed a lot of
20:36families in Italy are religious, like a
20:38massive amount, and a lot of these old
20:40castles they have private chapels
20:42inside. So, this one had one, too. So,
20:45this should be interesting.
20:48Uh okay, we got to open this.
20:52Oh, sweet. We're in.
20:54Okay.
20:56Whoa.
20:58Oh my gosh.
21:18>> This is really cool. This is a small
21:19chapel, but it's so preserved.
21:21Everything is still here. I think that's
21:23for like incense. This is really
21:25interesting. Oh, that's the tabernacle
21:27right there.
21:29Yeah, it's a small chapel, but it's it's
21:31really cozy though, for sure. People
21:33were just leaving their flowers here.
21:34We've got stained glass over there. Now,
21:37I hope this door is open. I wonder if we
21:38can get outside here cuz I think this
21:40leads to the bell we saw. Let's see.
21:44Oh, it does open. Sweet.
21:47Okay, so we're out on the balcony now. I
21:49hope this is safe to walk on. But, this
21:52is cool. Look at this.
21:53We got this gadget in front of us.
21:56Oh, oh my gosh, it spins.
21:58Well, I don't think it does anything
21:59anymore. Oh, it does. Look.
22:02The chains are moving. What does this
22:04do? Maybe it opens the gates.
22:06Okay, that's crazy. It's sick.
22:10Oh.
22:11Okay, that's so loud. We're not going to
22:13mess with that. Okay, so I closed that
22:15up again. I don't want the wind getting
22:16in here, all the elements. But, uh yeah.
22:18Oh my gosh. Yeah, so this door
22:21is locked. We tried it so many times. We
22:23cannot get in there. So, maybe there's a
22:25way through these like side buildings.
22:27There's two buildings here.
22:29Maybe we could find a way in.
22:31Or else we might be cooked.
22:33Let's see what we got. Oh my gosh.
22:36Holy tools. This is insane. This is kind
22:39of funny, actually. I mean, we have so
22:41many old tools. Everything is beyond
22:42old. And then we just have these modern
22:45plastic chairs. They kind of ruin the
22:46vibe, I'm not going to lie. But, yeah,
22:48this is so cool. Maybe there's a way in
22:50over back here.
22:52No, great. That's just a window. Okay, I
22:55we're kind of running out options here.
22:57We did spot a way that we can 100% get
22:59inside the tower.
23:02What in the world?
23:05>> [laughter]
23:05>> There's a killer hornets, bro.
23:07>> Actually?
23:08Here, let me see.
23:09>> the bees.
23:10>> [laughter]
23:14>> Okay, so as I was saying before, there's
23:16a 100% a way into the big tower, but we
23:19have to do a lot of climbing and we have
23:20to go through a small window. So,
23:21hopefully, we can find another way so we
23:23don't have to do all that. So, I'll show
23:25you guys again the window we have to go
23:27through. I mean, maybe we can climb this
23:29up to get to the roof, maybe? That could
23:32lead to it. Or they'll be nice to us and
23:35there'll be a way inside through here.
23:37Although, I don't know. I don't really
23:39expect there to be one.
23:41>> [snorts]
23:41>> Uh-oh. So, our idea is we're going to
23:43climb up here. We already moved that.
23:45We're going to get up to the roof and
23:47then we have to go through that window.
23:49That is going to be a squeeze and a
23:51half. Oh my gosh, but we have to see
23:53what's in here. So, it could be nuts.
23:55Maybe there's a way up over here.
23:58There's a random staircase. I mean, it
23:59has to lead to something, right? It's
24:01very narrow though. We got a big drop on
24:03our hands, too.
24:04But, we're going to send it.
24:06We're going to do it. We got a statue
24:07over here, too, which is pretty cool.
24:08But, oh my gosh.
24:11This view is insane.
24:13Wow.
24:15We are on top
24:17of the world.
24:19But, as happy as I am to be up here
24:21looking at the view, this is a dead end.
24:23So, yeah, we're going to have to go
24:24through that. That is the smallest
24:26window known to man. Okay, I'm going to
24:29call two swag
24:30and we're going to do it. Well, our
24:32first plan was to climb this spiky fence
24:35to get to the roof, but as you'll soon
24:37see, that plan did not end well at all.
24:39Holy climber.
24:46>> Oh my gosh.
24:47>> What?
24:47>> That spike went straight through my
24:48shoe.
24:49>> Oh, no.
24:50Yeah, those spikes are no joke.
24:53>> [snorts]
24:57>> Let's find the ladder.
24:59>> Nice.
25:02Oh, that's Oh, nice.
25:06>> Why is it heavy?
25:07>> Oh my gosh.
25:10Oh my gosh.
25:11>> You can't really see it.
25:12>> Yeah, I can imagine.
25:14>> Oh, I'm bleeding.
25:15>> Oh, no.
25:16>> Wait, wait.
25:17>> Oh, no.
25:19Oh my gosh.
25:21Dude, are you okay?
25:23>> I'm good. [laughter]
25:23>> Does it hurt?
25:24>> Hopefully it doesn't have tetanus or
25:25anything.
25:26>> So, after that complete fail, we moved
25:29on to our next plan.
25:30>> Dude, that's insane. There's a hole in
25:32your big toe.
25:33Just uh be careful with that.
25:36I'll help you in a second.
25:39What are you doing, bro?
25:41>> You got to wait for you.
25:43>> This gate was a lot heavier than it
25:45looks, by the way.
25:46>> If it starts leaning toward you, then
25:47you just drop it, all right? If it's
25:49about to crush you, just drop it. Ready?
25:56>> [clears throat]
25:57>> We got to move it a little bit more.
26:00My foot, dude.
26:01>> That was insane.
26:02If we can actually get in here,
26:04that'll be so crazy. We finally got up
26:06to the roof, so hopefully we're now able
26:09to find a way through the window.
26:11Hopefully you can get inside and then
26:12unlock that door for me.
26:14If not, I'm going to squeeze in there,
26:16too.
26:17Guys, we'll do literally anything to get
26:19in these places,
26:21including this.
26:25>> [laughter]
26:28>> Hopefully you can come up here.
26:30>> It's a little bit of a squeeze.
26:33>> [panting]
26:34>> Oh. That's a little bit of a squeeze.
26:36>> Do you think we can do it?
26:37>> Yeah, we can do it. We got to do it.
26:39>> Only if this stupid thing wasn't here.
26:41>> If you want to go face first, I could
26:43like lift your legs up.
26:45>> Are you sure?
26:45>> Yeah.
26:46>> [music]
26:46>> Okay, this is not all my weight, by the
26:47way.
26:48>> Yeah.
26:51Don't fall on please.
27:00Okay.
27:04>> Are we inside?
27:05>> You what?
27:06>> No way. That's insane. We just made it
27:08in there.
27:10>> Now, the plan was for Two Swag to go
27:12open the main door for me.
27:14>> Oh. Oh. Oh,
27:17>> It's cold.
27:17>> Holy
27:19We did it, man.
27:20>> Everybody always makes fun of me because
27:22I'm so skinny, but if I wasn't so
27:23skinny, I would not have been able to
27:25get into there, so.
27:25>> Hey, being skinny is good sometimes.
27:27>> Oh my gosh. Well, I cannot believe we
27:29actually made it in here. That's the
27:31window we had to go through or Two Swag
27:33had to go through. I'll show that a
27:35little bit closer when we get up there,
27:36but
27:37oh my gosh. We are in here and this
27:40already looks insane. This looks like a
27:42massive like museum [snorts] room.
27:44There's so many tools here. Okay, some
27:46of this has to be torture tools. Has to
27:49be. Has to be. I mean, we got so much of
27:51it.
27:52But more importantly, all of this is so
27:54historic, too. Look at that. Wow. Is
27:56that a centaur? That's a centaur. It's
27:58like half horse, half person. Looks like
28:01a bunch of random rusty stuff. We got
28:04this, too, which I found at a mansion a
28:05long time ago, and this is used to pump
28:07air into a fireplace. So, you just push
28:10that down
28:11and then air
28:13comes out of there. So, it's pretty
28:14interesting. Now, we got another well
28:16over here. Maybe I don't know. Maybe
28:18we'll find like a dungeon down here
28:19somewhere. What is that? Now, I'm
28:22guessing this stuff in these cases are
28:23probably going to be the most like rare
28:25and expensive stuff.
28:27Cuz why else would be in a glass case?
28:30I'mma be honest. I don't know what the
28:31stuff is, but it doesn't look too crazy.
28:34But yeah, there's stuff everywhere. That
28:37looks like something you would find in
28:38an old church. Like that the singer
28:41would be up there. Bunch of like
28:42carvings over there on the wood. That's
28:44cool, but yeah, I mean, this is just so
28:46hoarded.
28:48There's is picture of this room. Yeah,
28:49that's the the church thing we just saw
28:51and
28:52the multitude of just tools everywhere.
28:55So, that's cool. There's photos of this
28:57back when it was open as a museum.
28:59So, I mean, you guys already saw it, but
29:01yeah, this is the small window that too
29:03small I got to climb through. That is so
29:05small.
29:07Holy cow, I'm so excited to see this.
29:09Okay, this is like all stone just
29:11everywhere.
29:12Woah, is this this place, I wonder?
29:15Huh, kind of looks like it a little bit.
29:18Woah. Oh my gosh, this room is stuffed.
29:21Now, this looks like a a lobby area,
29:24like a worker would be back there.
29:26Yeah, that's the castle. That might be
29:27the castle before it was restored cuz
29:29honestly looks like a ruin.
29:31Pamphlets everywhere. As excited as I am
29:34that this place is abandoned with
29:35everything left, it's also pretty sad,
29:37too, because I mean, there's so much
29:39history here and the the owners had a
29:40big dream for this place and it's just
29:42really disappointing to see it just rot
29:44away now, especially with all this
29:46expensive stuff inside. Yeah, we got
29:48like the family tree again.
29:50Starts in the year 813.
29:53Holy crap, that's old.
29:55And it goes all the way down to over
29:57here. Yeah, I mean, I wish I could read
30:00this stuff, but there's pretty
30:01interesting stuff said. There's the
30:03Dante thing again, but yeah, so this is
30:05like the admission room, I guess.
30:07Got another crazy chair, another cool
30:09view. Hopefully, we don't miss anything.
30:12Another bell. Kind of want to ring that
30:14again. Yeah, you know what? We got to
30:15ring it. If it's a bell.
30:18Oh, we can't even ring it. There's
30:19nothing in there. Huh.
30:21I bet it'd be loud, though.
30:23Now, I think Oh, hello, Dante again.
30:26What's up? Now, we do have this chest
30:28right by the window, so let's see what
30:30we got. Maybe there's crazy stuff in
30:31here. Probably not, but let's see.
30:34What the heck? Oh, no way, guys. I know
30:36exactly what this is. I think this is an
30:38old toilet where you're perched up and
30:40you you literally just do your business
30:42down that hole. And now we're going to
30:44keep going up. Now I think because we
30:46didn't see a bedroom yet, the bedroom is
30:48going to be all the way on top of this
30:50tower. And then hopefully we can get on
30:51the roof cuz the view from up here is
30:53going to be absolutely insane. This is
30:55crazy though. It's all stone. Head to
30:58toe
30:59is just stone. Wow. We keep going. It
31:02keeps on going higher. This place is so
31:05tall. Oh, hello. We have another room.
31:08Well, this is not a bedroom.
31:09Okay, this is kind of cool.
31:12Even more pamphlets and stuff. Oh, no
31:15way. This is the fireplace
31:18that is in this photo. And it's too bad
31:20they stole the crest.
31:23Yeah, this looks like the people or some
31:24of the people that were trying to fix
31:26this place up. Uh I feel so bad for
31:28them, but they look so nice.
31:30Ooh, okay, this could be cool. What do
31:32we got here?
31:34Oh.
31:35Bathroom.
31:36Obviously renovated.
31:39But oh my gosh, look at this view.
31:42Holy crap.
31:44That's so sick.
31:45Yeah, this room wasn't too interesting.
31:47I guess we'll check this out and then
31:49we'll keep going.
31:50Oh, empty. Let's keep going up.
31:53All right. Well, I have a strong feeling
31:55this is the last level up. So, [music]
31:57it must be the bedroom. If it's not the
31:59bedroom, then I don't know. Okay. Oh,
32:02there's another level. You know what?
32:04That may lead to the roof.
32:06Oh, yes, it's the bedroom.
32:09No way.
32:11Wow.
32:22And as usual, they went crazy making the
32:25bed. I mean, it's so decayed though.
32:27Look at all that. The stains are insane.
32:29And this is the only nice bedroom we've
32:30seen so far. So, it was just for one
32:32family. One family lived in this whole
32:34place. And I guess they had servants
32:36that lived somewhere else or something,
32:38but imagine having this whole place just
32:40to yourself. And it gets better than
32:43that. Imagine waking up and this is your
32:45view. So, that's the town with like 30
32:47people in it. There's like a family
32:49having dinner or something over there.
32:51Other than that, there's nothing around
32:53here.
32:53We even got the huge fireplace.
32:56Oh, yeah, someone stole another crest.
32:59So happy we found the bedroom. We also
33:01got the closets, bunch of bedding in
33:02here.
33:03Even the door is sick. Look at this.
33:06Holy reinforced.
33:08Oh my gosh, the bars on the door. Heavy
33:10wood.
33:12Yeah, I think this goes up to the roof.
33:15Let's do it. We'll squeeze getting out
33:17of here. Look at this view, guys.
33:20We are up. We can see miles, miles,
33:23miles all around us.
33:26Everywhere. This is a crazy viewpoint.
33:30Holy cow. This is so nice. Definitely
33:32after I finish filming, [music] I'm just
33:34going to chill here for a little bit.
33:35Just appreciate the view. But, this is
33:37why exploring these places is just so
33:39magical. I mean, it's not about the
33:40abandoned place all the time. It's about
33:42the journey to get there. It's about the
33:43views, the experiences.
33:45We're just up in the middle of Italy
33:47looking at this crazy view on top of
33:49this abandoned castle.
33:51It's pretty crazy to think about that
33:52people were standing in this exact spot
33:541,000 years ago looking at a probably
33:57very similar view. And despite
33:59everything it's been through, it's
34:01somehow still standing here today. And
34:03although its future may not be bright, I
34:05[music] really hope someone comes along
34:07and brings this place back to life.
34:09Thanks for watching.
