Located on an isolated hill overlooking the valley below, crossed by the road San Terenziano-Bastardo, its origins date back to the Stone Age, the period made reference to by the several scrapers, knives, hatchets in green polished stone, arrow, javelin and daggers heads found (weapons made ​​from a hard stone called flint). The castle was founded in 1250 with the name of Cerqueto, because it was surrounded by a wide forest of oaks (querce, in Italian), it then took its present name after the building of strong walls with high corner towers created for defensive and dovecot purposes. An arched door, surmounted by the crest of the Todi eagle, forms the entrance. Inside there are houses built against the outer circle. Ugolino III, who came to power after the death of his uncle Corrado XII, continued the policy of controlling the territory on behalf of the Holy See and upheld peace with Perugia for another hundred years. Prior to 1500 Torri had 33 families, who often quarreled amongst themselves, so much so that several popes alternately subjugated Torri to Gualdo Cattaneo and Todi. After the restoration, Torri joined the territory of San Terenziano and from 1861 it was aggregated to the municipality of Gualdo Cattaneo.
