Pretty much what Oli said. They were dealt a crippling blow by the Eorzean Alliance during Operation Archon, but they are still very much active and still pose a threat to Eorzea. As Oli also mentioned in his post, there are several points in the MSQ where the WoL has to venture into the Castrums because of some danger.

About the only Imperial Castrum no longer active in Eorzea is Castrum Aquilonis in Coerthas. It's off the map but visible from Monument Tower.

Fernehalwes: Oda-san says that this is a place called Castrum Aquilonis. The Empire started building it, but it was way too cold; the climate was way too harsh. They stopped halfway through, it’s now abandoned. That’s all I can say, because that’s all that’s been written.
