Castello di Montefiore, Medieval castle in Montefiore, Recanati, Italy.
The fortification includes a 40-meter central tower and extends along 176 meters of perimeter walls near the road connecting Osimo to Montefano.
Built around 1290 to counter Osimo's expansion, the castle underwent multiple sieges, including attacks by Fra Moriale in 1354 and Galeotto Malatesta in 1355.
The castle appears in frescoes painted by Matteo Tassi from Perugia in 1889, displayed in the Council Chamber of Recanati's Town Hall.
The interior remains closed to visitors due to structural maintenance, but the exterior walls and tower are visible from the adjacent road.
The strategic position of the fortress allows views extending to the Adriatic Sea and Monte Conero, controlling both Musone and Potenza valleys.
