 The church of San Giovanni once linked to a Benedictine monastery, and the church of Sant'Eustachio a Belforte del Chienti are present in the town.The name of the town derives from the happy geographical position and indicates precisely a "Bel Forte" or "beautiful fortress".The castle built in the twelfth century was immediately part of the jurisdiction of Camerino until 1255 when it allies with Tolentino to surrender to the latter city in 1256.
