Pierle

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Castle of Pierle, positioned south of Cortona and near Lake Trasimeno existed already in X the century and was property of the marquises of the Saint Mount Maria Tiberina. In 1428 there is a contract of sale by the Republic of Florence and payment of 1200 fiorini of gold when it became free of Cortona. However that wasn't enough to save the Rocca, and it was voluntarily destroyed by the Gran Duca so that outlaws would not take refuge here.
