Rocca Isolani, Renaissance castle in Minerbio, Italy.
The stone fortress features multiple defensive towers, thick medieval walls, and detailed brick decorations across its exterior structure.
The castle underwent reconstruction in 1550 after the Landsknechts attacked and burned it during their march to Rome in 1527.
Three rooms of the castle display frescoes created between 1538 and 1542 by Italian painter Amico Aspertini.
Visitors can schedule guided tours to explore the castle grounds, including the adjacent Villa Isolani and the historic Fair Meadow.
Emperor Charles V stayed at the castle in 1530, leading to the construction of Villa Isolani specifically for his coronation in Bologna.
