Castles in the area of Eugubino, palaces and mansions

The Eugubino area is rich in castles, towers, and historic houses, a strong testimony of medieval architecture. A dense network of manors spreads over the whole territory, in the plains, on the gentle hill slopes and perched on rocky mountains, surrounded by vineyards, beech and chestnut woods. Built in strategic positions, they dominate the surrounding valleys, often with mighty crenellated walls and lively interior decorations made on frescoed walls to recall the opulence of the local noble families. Many can be visited, still others used as private homes, and still others only ruins bearing witness to a glorious past. Discover with Visititaly, the fortresses, the villas, the forts, the historic buildings, the noble residences and all the places linked to culture that characterize the Eugubino area. If you have visited a castle and would like to share your experience with others, please report it here!

Gubbio - Castles, palaces and mansions

Loggia dei Tiratori XVII

The Loggia dei Snipers of Gubbio was built after countless controversy at the beginning of the 17th century. The long building with a porch was originally home to the hospital of Santa Maria, erected in 1326. In the following years, other hospitals were annexed and so the building was named “Spedal Grande”. Since the middle of the 15th century, the Art of Wool aims to build a room above the hospital to “pull the clothes”, that is, dry the fabric and stretch it of the determined length and width.

Castello di Vallingegno

The castle of Vallingegno, which takes its name from a temple dedicated to the god Genius, worshiped by the pagans as a good or evil god for the influence he had on the lives of men and who would give its name to territory of Vallingegno. The building, whose first foundations were built in 1000, was the property of the Gabrielli family. In 1206 Saint Francis was locked up. The municipality of Gubbio, following a rebellion, conquered it in 1355.
