This fortress, which today retains its Renaissance form on the hilltop above Assisi, is silent testimony to the turbulent and bellicose decades of war between Assisi and Perugia, between the Papal State and the Empire, and between the citizens of Assisi themselves.
In 1198, Francis was already a teenager and probably participated in the skirmishes between the opposing factions which would lead to the battle of Collestrada against Perugia, during which Francis was taken prisoner (FF 584; 1398).
