The property is spread over an area of over 3,500 m2. and is made up of the Castle, an adjacent Villa and over 4.5 hectares of land. Thanks to its dominant position, it was an important defense outpost from enemies and, over the centuries, it has undergone numerous attacks, some of which have led to its partial or total destruction. The castle was also included in the Byzantine Corridor, a portion of territory administered by the Byzantines and the only connection between Rome and Ravenna during the period in which the Goths and the Longobards settled on the peninsula. In 1400, the fortification was an outpost to defend the Umbrian territory and subsequently the small village that currently exists and is inhabited was created around it. THE VILLA The nineteenth-century villa is spread over four floors in addition to the two levels of the characteristic turret with arched windows. The renovation was limited to the conservative restoration of the walls and the laying of the beams that support the floors. The original floors have also been recovered and preserved.
