Gualdo Cattaneo, Medieval fortress complex in Umbria, Italy

The municipality of Gualdo Cattaneo encompasses twelve castles spread across hills, with a triangular fortress at its center containing three connected towers.

The name Gualdo originates from Germanic 'wald', referring to dense forests that covered this region during the early medieval period.

The parish church features a thirteenth-century crypt in Romanesque style and displays important religious artifacts alongside frescoes by Niccolò di Liberatore.

Located 25 kilometers southeast of Perugia, Gualdo Cattaneo sits at 446 meters elevation and covers an area of 96 square kilometers.

The Castle of Ceralto contains a 200-year-old holm oak, which stands as one of the largest specimens of its kind in the region.
