Rocca di Monfalcone, Medieval fortress in Monfalcone, Italy.
The Rocca di Monfalcone stands on a mountain north of Monfalcone, featuring a square keep surrounded by circular walls and earthen ramparts.
Initially established as a prehistoric fortified village, the site evolved into a Roman watchtower monitoring routes between Aquileia and present-day Trieste.
The fortress earned recognition as 'Friuli's watchful eye' due to its strategic position protecting Venetian territories from Austrian and Turkish forces.
The structure houses a paleontology museum dedicated to the Karst region, though access requires walking as vehicles cannot reach the entrance.
The fortress changed hands multiple times between 1420 and 1915, serving various military functions for Venetian, Austrian, and Italian forces.
