history

In the 13th century the area belonged to the Abbey of St. Paul Outside the Walls and was called Castrum Leonis. In the 15th century the meaning was lost and was called Casalis Castel de Leo.

Castel di Leva was founded on September 13, 1961 by decision of the Commissario Straordinario. At that time the Ager Romanus was divided into 59 zones to which a Roman number was assigned and a Z was introduced. Six of them were completely outsourced to the newly founded municipality of Fiumicino and three others partially.
