Antognolla Castle, located on the slopes of Monte Tezio and now part of an exclusive golf club, owes its name to the ancient Antognolla family of Perugia. First mentioned in 1174 for the presence of a Benedictine monastery, it became a fiefdom in 1399 at the behest of Pope Boniface IX. Over the following centuries, it was at the center of conflicts between noble families, until it passed to the Oddi family in 1628 and then to the Guglielmi family in 1836. After a period under the Agnelli family, it was recently restored to become a luxury resort.

Antognolla Castle stands majestically and is part of the eponymous Golf Club.

Antognolla Castle, located on the northern slopes of Monte Tezio, owes its name to one of Perugia's oldest and most noble families, the Antognolla or Antognolli, who lived near Porta Santa Susanna since the 12th century.

The castle's construction date is unknown. The first records of the site date back to 1174, when a Benedictine monastery dedicated to Saint Peter was recorded, of which only the crypt dedicated to Saint Agatha remains today.
