Main sights[edit]
The Castle was erected around 1200 by order of Pope Innocent III, and later reinforced by the Orsini. It once had 3 layers of massive walls, but the siege of Cesare Borgia in 1497 and subsequent earthquakes have reduced the structures to a state of poor-repair.
It was the country home of Professor Ernest Nash. It is also a sailing town, with many clubs offering training in water activities.
