Castle of Giaggiolo, 16th-century rocca in Civitella di Romagna, Italy.

The Castle of Giaggiolo rises on a strategic hill with an octagonal bastion and thick stone walls designed for defensive purposes during the Renaissance period.

Built around 1550, the castle served as a crucial defensive structure in the Emilia-Romagna region, protecting local communities from potential invasions.

The castle maintains its original architectural elements, representing the military engineering principles and construction techniques of Renaissance Italian fortifications.

The fortress stands at coordinates 44°1'48"N and 12°3'36"E, accessible via the Strada Giaggiolo-Pian di Spino road in Civitella di Romagna.

The castle features an unusual octagonal defensive system that differs from typical rectangular layouts found in other Italian fortifications of the same period.
