The fortress was built in the years between 1360 and 1365 at the behest of Cardinal Egidio Albornoz, the cardinal to whom the Pope entrusted the reconquest of the Romagna lands.
Even before Albornoz's arrival in Forlimpopoli there was a fortification guarding the city walls.
In 1356 the Ordelaffi family restored and strengthened the city's fortifications, but in 1360 Cardinal Egidio Albornoz, at the head of the papal troops, after a long siege, razed almost the entire city to the ground, allowing the troops to plunder the homes and kill residents.
The fortress was rebuilt on the basis of the previous one and incorporating pre-existing buildings, such as the old church which served as a cathedral.
