San Biagio, Castelraimondo
San Biagio is a Roman Catholic church located in Castelraimondo, province of Macerata, in the region of Marche, Italy. Details on the foundation of the church are slim. It was likely erected at the site of a former church inside the castle walls. The church utilizes the castle guard tower as one of its bell-towers. The church is mentioned in documents by 1330. The earthquake of 1799 caused damage, and the church underwent a major reconstruction commissioned in 1802 by Cardinal Giuseppe Doria Pamphili, and with recommendations by the architect Giacomo Cansoni. A fire in 1906, led to further reconstruction and modifications. The façade is in brick and stucco, while the flanks are in stone.

Marche
Marche ( , ) is one of the twenty regions of Italy. In English, the region is sometimes referred to as The Marches ( ). The region is located in the central area of the country, bordered by Emilia-Romagna and the republic of San Marino to the north, Tuscany to the west, Umbria to the southwest, Abruzzo and Lazio to the south and the Adriatic Sea to the east. Except for river valleys and the often very narrow coastal strip, the land is hilly. A railway from Bologna to Brindisi, built in the 19th century, runs along the coast of the entire territory. Inland, the mountainous nature of the region, even today, allows relatively little travel north and south, except by twisting roads over the passes. Urbino, one of the major cities of the region, was the birthplace of Raphael, as well as a major centre of Renaissance history. Toponymy The name of the region derives from the plural of the medieval word ''marca'', meaning "march" or "mark" in the sense of border zone, originally ...

Guard Tower
A guard tower is any military tower used for guarding an area. These towers are usually operated by military personnel, and are structures built in areas of established control. These include military bases and cities occupied by military forces. This type of fortification is a variation on the tower incorporated into the walls of castles from history, and are, in the modern day, equipped with such facilities as heavier weapons than those carried by infantry and searchlights.

It falls into the early modern period of Europe and in that continent (whose impact on the world was increasing) was characterized by the Baroque cultural movement, the latter part of the Spanish Golden Age, the Dutch Golden Age, the French '' Grand Siècle'' dominated by Louis XIV, the Scientific Revolution, the world's first public company and megacorporation known as the Dutch East India Company, and according to some historians, the General Crisis.
