Umbriano, Medieval fortification in Ferentillo, Italy
The castle stands on the northern slope of Mount Sant'Angelo, featuring a tall square tower, defensive bastions, and an ogival entrance door.
The fortification was constructed in 890 following Saracen raids in Umbria to protect the Abbey of San Pietro in Valle from invasions.
The castle church contains frescoes by Lo Spagna, including notable works depicting Saint Sebastian and the Crucifixion with the Eternal Father.
The structure remains completely abandoned since 1950 due to limited road connections to Valnerina and reduced economic opportunities in the region.
The strategic position of the castle on Mount Sant'Angelo provided natural defenses, making it an impregnable fortress during medieval times.
