Torrione e rocca di Cagli

The Torrione fortress has four floors connected by a corridor featuring 58 defensive openings along its perimeter walls.

Built in 1481 under Bishop Bonclerici direction, the fortress was designed by architect Francesco di Giorgio Martini using bricks and stone.

The fortress now functions as the Contemporary Sculpture Center, displaying works by artists including Roberto Almagno and Jannis Kounellis.

Visitors can access the fortress through a small door facing the city and climb to the top floor for views of Cagli.

The fortress floor contains five embrasures equipped with firearm devices and a water conduit connected to an underground cistern.
