Gualdo Cattaneo is a small town in the Colli Martani of central Umbria, about 11 km west of Bevagna and 9 km north of Bastardo. It has several medieval churches, including SS. Antonio and Antonino, in the crypt of which can be seen the bodies of the titular saints and that of the Blessed Ugolino. The most striking presence, however, is that of a massive tower built by Pope Alexander VI Borgia: as with most papal fortifications in Umbria, it was not so much designed to defend as to intimidate.
