    On the journey to Todi, a stop took us to Cibottola Castle, just 1 km from the crossroads. Situated at 471 meters, it is a small castle built before the 10th century, occupying a strategic position overlooking the Nestore Valley. Important since the 13th century for its pietra serena quarries, it was fortified in the 14th century and welcomed Braccio da Montone in 1416 before the conquest of Perugia. Today, the entrance gate with a drawbridge and a 20-meter-high heptagonal tower remain, restored in the late 20th century and converted into a civic tower.

    On the road that would take us to Todi, we stopped at a crossroads and saw a sign for Cibottola Castle. It was only a kilometer away, so we took a quick look at this characteristic site from the outside.

    It was a small castle, built before the 10th century, perched atop one of the hills bordering the Nestore River near Pietrafitta, at an altitude of 471 meters.

    The name Cibottola derives from Maurizio Cybo, brother of Pope Innocent VIII and governor of Perugia.
