San Ginesio is wrapped up, for about 4 kilometres, by a mighty wall made of sandstone. Whichever direction it comes from, the visitor is faced with a band of different greens and the gold of the stones, to climb upwards to the two steeples of the bell towers that pierce the blue of the sky.
The great scholar, German jurist and epigraphist Theodore Mommsen, on the occasion of a visit to San Ginesio, in the second half of the nineteenth century, he exclaimed: «From these walls, Gentlemen, you can read the story of San Ginesio. They tell his story better than any other document. "
The greatness of the Sanginesio land, its power and its glorious past are admirably indicated by the castle walls from whose top dominates the entire municipal area. The majesty of the building must have impressed many observers, starting from the author of the picture representing the historian Battle between Ginesini and Fermani, to continue with the Alemanno of Madonna of the People and close with “Babel” pyramids by the painters Guglielmo Ciarlantini and Lamberto Massetani.
