Fortezza della Brunella, Renaissance fortress in Aulla, Italy.
The quadrangular Brunella Fortress stands on a hilltop at the confluence of Magra and Aulella rivers, featuring four rectangular corner towers and deep moats.
Built between the 13th and 14th centuries, the fortress underwent modifications in the 16th century to accommodate firearms and served as a strategic control point.
The fortress now houses the Natural History Museum of Lunigiana, displaying collections that document the regional environmental transformations through time.
The stone bridge that currently leads to the main entrance replaced the original drawbridge, providing permanent access to the inner courtyard.
The fortress received its name from the particular brown color of the rock formation upon which it was constructed.
