The Rocca of Umbertide is a 14th-century castle located in the center of the town of Umbertide, province of Perugia, region of Umbria, Italy. HistoryConstruction of the castle began in 1374, with designs by Angeluccio di Ceccolo, and construction directed by Alberto Guidalotti, with completion in 1389. It has a tower of nearly 32 meters in height with walls that are 2 meters thick at the base. Two corner towers are linked to a square central bulwark. Today, the castle has a single door towards the town, but at one time, it had an opening across the adjacent river. In 1394, Braccio Fortebraccio of Montone was held prisoner here. After the restoration of Papal authority, the castle was used a prison until 1923. It was then used as a residential building until 1974. It then became property of the commune, and during the late 1980s underwent restoration to its historical identity as a castle. One exception was the creation of a new entrance. Starting in 1986, the castle became used for contemporary art exhibits. It now also displays a collection of donated works by Giovanni Ciangottini.[1] References1. ^Comune of Umbertide, entry on the castle. {{coord missing|Italy}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Umbertide}}{{Italy-castle-stub}} 3 : Castles in Umbria|Buildings and structures in the Province of Perugia|Art museums and galleries in Umbria |
