The Castello della Pieve was built near an ancient pagan temple dedicated, according to tradition, to the God of the river Metauro.
The Castle was built after the disintegration of the Roman Empire in the 12th century, it was fortified to defend the ancient Pieve d'Ico, current Mercatello sul Metauro.
With its high towers in large stone ashlars, the armigers defended this noble land from the intrigues of errant knights and from the conspiracies of the powerful.
The Medieval Castle thus played an important role in the military geography of Massa Trabaria, Guelph stronghold and Vassalla of the Holy See.
