Loretello Castle, Medieval castle in Loretello, Italy

The castle features fortified walls and a circular defensive tower positioned strategically on top of a hill in the Marche region.

The Friars Camaldolesi from Fonte Avellana constructed the fortified structure during the eleventh century, with major extensions completed between the late fourteenth and early fifteenth centuries.

The castle houses both a Medieval and African museum displaying objects from rural culture, alongside the Church of St Giovanni Evangelista containing paintings from the 1500s.

Visitors reach the castle via a steep bridge that connects to the main entrance, with guided tours available to explore the historical architecture.

The castle walls underwent partial demolition in 1920 to accommodate a new municipal road, altering the original medieval defensive perimeter.
