SIROLO explores the military relevance of an Italian Adriatic medieval hill town in the region of Le Marche. Oral tradition and historical anecdotes assert that Sirolo was constructed as a medieval defensive stronghold and was also important as a religious center. The author systematically explores historical records, landscape, and the archaeological record to explain why Sirolo's location was militarily important, why the city's physical construction was relevant, how successful the city was as a defensive stronghold, and the role that religion played in the city's defensive fabric.
