Castello Due Torri di Scorticata, 12th century castle in Poggio Torriana, Italy

Castello Due Torri di Scorticata is a fortress built on rocky ground in Poggio Torriana with two circular towers and remains of a central keep. The entire structure rises to about 377 meters and commands views of the surrounding landscape from this elevated position.

The fortress was first documented in 1141 when Pope Lucius II transferred it to the Church of Rimini, establishing an important religious connection. This transfer shaped how the place was used and managed for centuries afterward.

The name changed twice in the last millennium: in 1938 it was called Castello di Torriana, and from the 1960s the current name Castello Due Torri. The older name Scorticata, Latin Castrum Scortigate, is still used. The slopes of the castle hill were long quarried for stone and marble.

The site can be visited and parts of the castle function as a restaurant where visitors can dine in a historical setting. The rocky location means reaching the place involves some climbing, so comfortable shoes are a good idea.

The castle is also called Castello Scorticata, Latin Castrum Scortigate, meaning "flayed castle". It changed name twice in the last millennium: in 1938 it was Castello di Torriana, and from the 1960s it took the name Castello Due Torri. Its fortifications once ran about 1,000 metres of wall across both summits.
