Rocca dei Bentivoglio, Medieval fortress in Valsamoggia, Italy.
The Rocca dei Bentivoglio stands on a hill with four wings surrounding an internal courtyard and a prominent southern tower from the original structure.
Built in 1250, this fortress transformed from a military stronghold into a noble residence when Giovanni II Bentivoglio received it as a gift in the 1400s.
The interior features numerous frescoed rooms, including the Giants Room with armed figures and the Cheetah Room inspired by Bentivoglio family legends.
The fortress currently houses the Music Center, an Intermunicipal Media Library, and the Arsenio Crespellani Civic Museum with prehistoric to modern collections.
The walls display the combined heraldic symbols of the Bentivoglio and Sforza families, marking the marriage between Giovanni Bentivoglio and Ginevra Sforza.
