The castle of Pitino, located on a cone-shaped hill at an altitude of 600 metres, dates back to ancient Rome and was one of the most important and disputed in the history of the region. Its strategic position, dominating the Potenza river valley, made it possible to control movements between the Adriatic Sea and the Umbrian Apennines. Due to its inaccessibility, the castle was defended by enemy troops who were spotted and targeted as they attempted to scale the steep hill. The main tower, more than 20 meters high, and the small church of Sant'Antonio complete the interesting panorama of Pitino.

The Castle of Gagliole, with a thousand-year history, was long owned by the municipality of San Severino during the medieval period. Its dominant position on the Potenza river valley was considered strategic since Roman times, when the Via Flaminia prolaquense was one of the most important roads in the region. However, it was in the 13th century that the da Varanos, lords of Camerino, transformed the castle into a solid and imposing military structure, making it one of the most impressive castles of their duchy.

The Torre del Cassero was built between 1311 and 1385 as part of the Castrum Raymundi complex. This fortress was part of the defensive system called "dell'Intagliata", made up of towers, moats and walls, to protect Camerino during the wars with the nearby towns of San Severino and Matelica. Il Cassero rises to over 35 meters in height. Over time, the tower became the bell tower of the adjacent church of San Biagio, which also incorporated the remains of the few remaining walls.

Statte Castle is an ancient fortification located on the slopes of Monte Letegge. It was built in the 12th century by the Bonifazi counts to control the Chienti and Potenza valleys. In the 16th century it was abandoned and dismantled, and is now being restored.

In the past this was dedicated to St. Mary Magdalene. Later, in the 18th century, it was assigned to the Augustinians instead. Currently the church is closed due to seismic events in 2016.
