The village of Postignano was founded in the 9th century by inhabitants who were mainly farmers and artisans. In the 17th century, it became an important commercial hub, a center of hemp and iron production, and a crossroads between Spoleto, Norcia, Foligno and Assisi. Castello di Postignano fell into neglect over the following centuries, until recovery began in 1994 with the purchase of all buildings and land. Work was interrupted in 1997 due to the earthquake, finally resuming in 2007 with the addition of a landscape and architectural constraint requested by the property and issued by the Ministry of Cultural Heritage. Today, Postignano Castle is an extraordinary example of how a complex historical structure can be brought back to life, becoming an international model of heritage conservation combined with the application of modern technologies. Castello di Postignano offers a living experience immersed in beauty and in a community that values the environment, history, culture and human relationships. The hamlet includes private homes, a high-end Relais, a restaurant, a café, and stores selling antiques, crafts and local products. The church, which has been converted into an auditorium, hosts a season of concerts and events, while art galleries, a billiard room, a library, a swimming pool, a spa, and a fitness trail complete the offerings. All these facilities are open to residents and guests of the Relais, making Castello di Postignano a unique place where history, culture and modernity meet harmoniously.
