Rocca di Meldola, Medieval fortress in Meldola, Italy
The fortress stands on a limestone rock outcrop, featuring tall ramparts, a bell tower with merlons, and a donjon tower overlooking the Bidente valley.
The structure, dating from 1050, passed through numerous noble families including the Malatesta, Ordelaffi, and Borgia before becoming property of the municipality in 1995.
The fortress evolved from a military garrison to a noble residence during Venetian rule, receiving artistic additions under Count Pio da Carpi around 1535.
The Municipality of Meldola initiated restoration works on the architectural complex, which remains closed to visitors during the ongoing renovations.
Twenty families lived within the fortress walls in 1359 when Cardinal Albornoz regained control of the structure for the Church.
