General

A fantastic tower dated back to 1400, one of the most important historical buildings in Umbria, set in a magical place, close to a small town located in an Apennine valley at the confluence between Fosso del Colle and Fosso della Valle di Collelungo. Inside the fortress there are remains of other structures, including a guard tower and a chapel. The whole complex is dominated by an impressive pentagonal stone tower Guelph battlemented for 32 meters of height.

Arriving by car, parking at the back of the tower, you get inside the court thanks to an opening in the wall that leads the guest on a central path that gives the chance to reach the church, the garrison and through stairs connected to it, the terrace which gives access to the tower.

From a wooden staircase, you enter the door of the tower that for the past defensive purposes it is very small and has been made of finely carved stone blocks which highlight the period of construction.
