    Tips

    May 17, 2024

    The Castle of Palazzo di Assisi was born in 1385 to defend the city of Assisi.
    Cambio (or Cagno), a feudal lord of Lombard origins, had this fortified village built with noble towers, his heirs (hence the name 'Castle of the sons of Cambio') later connected the towers with massive walls, those which today constitute the four corners of the quadrilateral village.
    The fort was thus able to play a role of considerable importance in the continuous wars between Perugia and nearby Assisi, becoming the last defensive bastion opposed to the Perugians before they could move towards Assisi without further obstacles.
    The castle stands in a once marshy area. Even today you can see the signs of the ancient drawbridge intact, symbol of a rich history of trade that passed through the Palace of Assisi. The lord of the castle "Cambiava" goods and coins, hence the name "Cambio".
