Castle of Rovereto, Medieval fortress in Rovereto, Italy
The Castle of Rovereto stands on a rocky elevation at the intersection of the Leno River and the city, featuring pentagonal fortification walls and three towers.
The Castelbarco family constructed the castle in the 14th century to monitor the Adige Valley, before the Venetians transformed it into an Alpine fortress in 1416.
The Italian War History Museum, established in 1921, occupies the castle grounds and presents extensive collections of weapons from prehistoric to modern periods.
The museum entrance ticket provides access to all castle areas, including the Marino and Malipiero towers, defensive tunnels, and numerous exhibition spaces.
During World War I, the castle served as headquarters for Austrian forces and endured substantial damage from Italian artillery bombardments before its restoration.
