Barattano was erected in the 13th century with the name of Villa Sant'Angelo in Piscina; it earned its later name "for the quality of the fraudulent people who lived there." Encircled by imposing walls (dating from 1452) with a central keep and tall defense towers, it is a good example of compact military architecture built for purely defensive purposes, derived from the Roman castrum. In 1261 a certain Filippo di Barattano was the commander of the local militia of Todi, under the podesta Filippo degli Ugoni of Brescia. In the mid-1300s the castle passed under the jurisdiction of the Trinci family. In 1540 the castle sent a worker to Perugia for the construction of the Rocca Paolina.

The city of Gualdo Cattaneo was founded in 975 by a vassal of Ottone II di Sassonia, Edoardo Cattaneo, which got the whole territory in feud. It still maintains today its structure of strengthened suburb which central element is constituted by the Rocca, a prevailing element in the city landscape.
The medieval castles of Gualdo Cattaneo
Rocca dei Borgia - The typical Rocca dei Borgia, so called in honour of the Pope Alessandro VI. Its construction is dated 1494, and was conceived as mighty structure to entertain numerous garrisons able to autonomously withstand every kind of attack. Its form is triangular and each of the vertexes finishes with a conic tower from the circular base, each of them is connected to the others trough underground burrows. The biggest of these three measure to the base 80 meters circumference and it's high around 20 meters. A curiosity: besides the numerous militias that in the years were appropriated for defending the Rocca, in 1624 it had the honour to host for some days an excellent character, Galileo Galilei.
Castello Barattano - It's very suggestive the castle of Barattano, other strengthened suburb, entirely thought as soldier defensive structure, able to reject repeated attacks. It was built during the XIII century and its boundaries, its towers and the city doors are still intact. The etymology of the topographic name is particular, due to the presumed fraudulent nature of its inhabitants.
Other medieval towns in the surroundings are
Castello di San Terenziano - Grutti - Cisterna - Speltara - Torri -
Other two important suburbs certainly deserving attention are the Castello di Simigni, dated around the XII century, today a private ownership and the Castello di Pomonte, of the ancient family of the earls of Antignano.
