In the following years the castle was under the rule of the State of the Church; in 1478 the structure, together with the surrounding territories, was devastated by the troops of Federico da Montefeltro.

The fortress saw its importance grow significantly in the 16th century, when it became the seat of a papal military garrison.

It subsequently became property of the comune, and during the late 1980s underwent restoration to its historical identity as a castle.
