Rocca di Urbisaglia, Renaissance fortress in Urbisaglia, Italy.
The Rocca di Urbisaglia features a trapezoidal structure with four corner towers, a gate tower, and a central keep rising 24 meters high.
Built in 1507 under Pope Alexander VI's permission, the fortress replaced earlier structures where the population sought protection from Barbarian invasions.
The fortress incorporates elements from Roman and medieval periods, with visible remains of ancient Urbs Salvia integrated into its foundation and walls.
Visitors can access multiple levels of the fortress, including the towers with embrasures, the garrison quarters, and the internal water collection system.
The South Tower base reveals Roman archaeological remains from Urbs Salvia, while maintaining its original military defense structures with gun emplacements.
