Overview

The medieval fortress of Urbisaglia was a military fortification erected by the town of Tolentino at the beginning of the 16th century. It has a trapezoidal shape with the longest side facing away from the town in order to better face potential attacks. There are four corner towers, a gate tower and a keep where the garrison Tolentino had imposed on Urbisaglia resided. Indeed, the fortress' main function, other than to control the surrounding areas, was to guard the town and to prevent any rebellious acts from the citizens of Urbisaglia, who resented Tolentino's power over them.

Lovely views from the top!

Visited this place at the start of the summer season, so were one of the only tourists around. Lovely views of the surrounding countryside!

Small but impressive

We wandered into this medieval fort in Urbisaglia as we had a ticket covering this and the vast Roman ruins just outside the town (see separate review on Parco Archeologico di Urbs Salvia) and the close by abbey at Fiastra (see separate review on Abbidia...More

Impressive

From the outside that is. I couldn't visit the interior as I guess winter isn't the best time. The whole town is a medieval wonder, though and well worth a visit.
