Misaligned Active Galactic Nuclei (MAGNs) are mainly radio galaxies of type FRI or FRII and Steep Spectrum Radio Quasars (SSRQs), which show jets of radiation oriented away from the observer’s line of sight. MAGNs are very numerous and well studied in the lower energies of the electromagnetic spectrum but are not commonly observed in the GeV and TeV energy range, because their inclination leads to the loss of relativistic boosting of the jet emission. The new Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA)

will improve orders of magnitude in sensitivity respect the present generation of ground Cherenkov telescopes ( IACTs) opening new frontiers for high energies studies of MAGNs. CTA detection of MAGNs will give more about the origin and location of TeV emission, possible emission models and if these radio galaxies could be the sources of high-energy neutrinos. This work highlights CTA candidates selected from the 4Fermi -LAT catalog and proposes observational strategies studying the high energy physics of MAGNs.
