we had no idea this castle existed but was recommended by a local. very glad he did. we have visited a number of castles all over europe. this is very well preserved. the minute you walk under the drawbridge you are back in time. you can look down into the drawbridge from above and see the mechanisms. there is a torture chamber, bedrooms, halls etc. to explore. there are signs explaining the rooms in english. there is paid parking and also free parking near-by. with the free parking there is a steepish walk up to the castle.we visited on a beautiful weekend and it was busy with locals but when you get into the castle itself there was hardly anyone walking around so you could take your time. we spent an extra 1 euro each to walk around the battlement. not a long walk but great views. the entrance fee into the castle is cash only so be prepared for that.

Beautiful historical sight, worth visiting at least outside. The current appearance of the Fortress dates back to the Renaissance period: it was built between 1476 and 1482 by Giovanni Della Rovere, nominated Lord of Senigallia and Vicar of Mondavio by Pope Sisto IV, who was at the time his uncle Francesco Della Rovere. Now it’s a museum that hosts different kinds of exhibitions. Very picturesque!

Castello Pallotta is located in Caldarola, a charming village in the heart of Le Marche region, in the province of Macerata. The castle was built in the ninth century and was restored at the end of the sixteenth century by the cardinal Evangelist Pallotta. He decided to transform the building into a majestic Renaissance residence.The ancient castle walls are still intact, as are its Guelph crenelations, battlements and drawbridge. The visit takes you through the historic building, where every ornament is placed in its original context with great attention to detail.
