The Castle, having remained almost completely unaltered since its construction in the middle ages, is considered to be one of the finest examples of medieval fortresses in the Piceno area.

Although its is not certain exactly when the castle was built, documentation in the form of a papal seal issued by Pope Leone IX and now housed in the archives of Ascoli Cathedral, demonstrates that it already existed in the 11th century. Over the centuries the castle gradually lost its defensive function to become the palatial residence of the local nobility. At the very start of the 19th century, the castle became the property of the Amici family.
