Castello di Montecopiolo, Medieval fortress in Montecopiolo, Italy.
The castle stands on a mountain ridge between the Conca and Marecchia river valleys, with fortifications extending across three defensive walls.
Founded in the 10th century, this stronghold became the primary seat of the Montefeltro counts who later established the Duchy of Urbino.
Archaeological excavations at the site reveal the evolution of medieval military architecture from the original summit tower to later defensive adaptations.
The archaeological area opens to visitors through guided tours, with adult tickets priced at 5 euros and reduced rates for specific categories.
Large limestone quarries from the 10th-12th centuries remain at the site, corresponding to the original construction period of the fortress.
