The fortress of Pierle is a fortified building, now in a state of ruin, located 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, commissioned by Uguccio Casali, of which it was the theater in 1387. It was consciously gutted in the parts internal in 1576 by order of the Grand Duke of Tuscany Francesco I de 'Medici, since it constituted a potential shelter for his enemies.
