The fortress is carachterized from long perimeter walls (m.176) and from formwork with the fixed bridge in masonry. In 1290 more or less began the fortification works of the castle. It was occupied several times: in 1354 by Fra Moriale, and the following year by Galeotto Malatesta, but without success. In 1429 was erected the tower, 40 meters high. In 1521 the castle suffered the occupation of Amadio Alberici but was organized with the pontifical help, a mighty siege and was defeated.
