The city of Tolentino is located in the heart of the Marche region and is one of the most interesting. These sites are first populated by the Piceni, since ancient times.
Tolentino is famous worldwide for the famous Basilica of St. Nicola but he also witnessed important historical events. In the city, for example, Napoleon and the papal signed the historic treaty of 1797, near the ancient Rancia castle, Gioacchino Murat was defeated by the Austrians in the famous battle of May 1815.
We of Turismo Marche, for who is on holiday in Tolentino, in this beautiful area of the Marche Central, recommend a visit to the castle of Rancia.
The Rancia castle was the scene of bloody fighting in all ages. The building, visible from the highway that comes from Civitanova Marche to Camerino, is a beautiful structure built in 1353 by master architect Andrea from Como by Captain Rodolfo da Varano. The fortress, the imposing walls, is a quadrilateral on which stands a tower. According to an important document dating from the sixteenth century, would be hidden inside a treasure. The map refers to the underground: by going from a well that opens in the basement of the side of the tower, we come to a spiral staircase leading to the underground path. The well was walled in the eighteenth century because the locals said that they heard strange noises at night are related to extraterrestrial presence.
The legend says that in the Rancia castle there is a well hidden treasure: the treasure of Papa Gregorio! For now no trace ..
