Rocca di Bagnara

The square-shaped brick fortress features a prominent donjon in the southwest corner, defensive towers, and an elegant two-story palace on the north side.

Built in the 15th century on earlier castle ruins, the fortress underwent major modifications under Girolamo Riario and Caterina Sforza between 1482 and 1494.

The castle museum, established in 2008, presents three sections exploring Bagnara's territory, fortress history, and Italian historical developments since 1861.

Located at Piazza IV Novembre 3, the fortress provides partial access for disabled visitors and includes dedicated parking areas in the vicinity.

The fortress represents the only complete example of a medieval castrum in Emilia Romagna, with three levels of preserved casemates in its keep.
