It is located on the Sasso del Lupo or Pietra Anellaria (from sandstone) and from the top of this natural cliff it dominates the underlying Savio valley.
The fortress was probably built around the year 1000 by the Cavalca family of the Counts of Bertinoro, who at the time dominated the territory by ecclesiastical investiture.
Around 1100 it was expanded by Altruda Frangipani, also of the Cavalca family, who managed the country with justice and wisdom
...
When the Counts of Bertinoro died out ... the fortress belonged to the Archbishops of Ravenna and, later, to the Faggiolani, the Guidi, the Tarlati, the Brancaleoni, the Malatesta and the Montefeltro.
And it was precisely with the arrival of this last family that the original fortress underwent the first radical transformations.
... it was the first change from a war bulwark to the princely residence that it would become with the Fregoso.
....
In 1660 S. Agata and its castle returned under the dominion of the Church.
Since then the fortress continued to be used as a residence at least until 1781 when it was transformed into a convent; on this occasion the Conventuals built, leaning against the fortress, the church dedicated to San Francesco della Rosa.
Over the last two centuries the Fortress has been used as a Convent of the Friars Minor Conventual, a high school, a prison, a courthouse and finally a civilian residence.
...
Today the Fortress is managed by the Pro-loco Association and is home to the permanent museum "Rocca delle Fiabe".
