    The fortress of Pierle is a ruined castle near the town of Mercatale, in the municipality of Cortona, in the province of Arezzo.

    Built in the 11th century and remodeled in 1371 in order to protect Cortona from the aggressiveness of Perugia, it is known for the massacre of a group of conspirators, wanted by Uguccio Casali, of which it was the scene in 1387. It was consciously disembowelled in parts internal in 1576 by order of the Grand Duke of Tuscany Francesco I de' Medici, given that it constituted a potential shelter for his enemies.
