Aragonese Castle

Local name: Castello Aragonese

Renaissance defensive castle built at the end of the 15th century on the site of an earlier fortification. In the 17th century, it fell into the hands of the Baglioni family, who built a baroque aristocratic residence inside the walls. To this day, only a fragment of the wall with a decorated window opening remains. The mighty defensive walls with the remains of the defensive towers are well preserved. In the west tower there is an exhibition of photos showing the appearance and equipment of the castle at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries.
