Castello Doria was built in the heart of the town of Angri in the Italian region of Campania around in 1290, the year when King Charles II of Anjou gave the land in the possession of his mercenary Pietro Bragerio. The castle is in a strategically important location and dominates the entire valley of the river Sarno.

In 1421, the year of the battle between the Angevin and Aragonese dynasties for the throne of the kingdom of Naples, the castle was destroyed by the troops of Braccio da Montone and rebuilt only a few decades later .  In the course of the reconstruction of the castle was added a two-storey tower .  In the middle of the 17th century Castello became the property of the prince Marcantonio Doria of the powerful Doria family of Genoa, who commissioned the architect Antonio Francesconi refurbish building .  As a result, fortification was turned into a baroque residence, but the tower and the moat are preserved .  Then the castle began to wear the name of Doria .  Later, in the second half of the 18th century, the castle expanded again - built new balconies and stairs, and was defeated by a spacious park with lawns and old trees .  In 1908 Castello Doria was bought by the city municipality of Angri and turned into a city park with a guest house and a casino .  After the earthquake of 1980, the castle was renovated and today is a real symbol of Angri - on its territory are held various cultural events .
