History

Castello di Petrata is a 14th Century ancient fortress.

The history of the Castello di Petrata is rooted in the medieval times, in 1340, the year of its construction along the Franciscan path that connected Assisi to the nearby village of Gubbio.

In the 15th century, it was turned into a fortress by Sperello Sperelli, to defend itself from the Baglioni.

After the period of jurisdiction of the Sacred Convent, it was transformed into a country house by the Tini family at the end of the sixteenth century and three centuries later it was first acquired by the Affuso family. In 1996, Romualdo Landrini and Giuseppina Orbi restored the structure to what we admire today.
