Castello di Pitino, Medieval fortress in San Severino Marche, Italy.

The castle complex spans 400 meters of defensive walls and features a 23-meter-high tower overlooking the surrounding Marche countryside.

Emperor Frederick II of Swabia assigned the castle to San Severino municipality in 1239, marking a period of territorial dominance in the region.

Two churches stand within the castle walls: Santa Maria della Pietà from 1292 and Sant'Antonio from the 15th century, representing religious architecture.

The castle site sits at 660 meters altitude, approximately 11 kilometers from San Severino Marche town center, requiring transportation planning for visits.

Archaeological excavations revealed continuous settlement patterns from the 7th to 5th century BC, indicating Picene civilization presence before Roman times.
