Rocca of Forlimpopoli, Medieval fortress in Forlimpopoli, Italy.

The quadrangular fortress features four circular towers at its corners, substantial defensive walls, and a moat along its eastern and southern sides.

Cardinal Egidio Carrilla de Albornoz initiated the construction between 1361 and 1363 on the ruins of the Romanesque cathedral of Santa Maria Popiliense.

The fortress contains the Giuseppe Verdi Theater, the Tobia Aldini Archaeological Museum with collections from the Paleolithic period through the Renaissance.

The fortress houses municipal offices, including a council hall displaying Forlimpopoli's oldest stone coat of arms and requires advance booking for visits.

Pino III Ordelaffi transformed the structure between 1471 and 1480, establishing its current dimensions and architectural characteristics.
