Rocca Flea was rebuilt by Frederick II and was later frequently renovated: in 1350, during the Perugine domination, a central keep was added, while a few years later other intervention were carried on by Biordo Michelotti.
During the Renaissance, the Rocca became a patrician residence, but in 1888 was turned into a prison. It is now the seat of a ceramics museum and of an historical exhibition.
