Rocca di Offagna

The fortress features thick brick walls with 50 bombard positions, a five-level central keep, and defensive walkways situated on a tuff rock formation.

The Maritime Republic of Ancona constructed this military structure between 1454 and 1456 to protect its territory from the rival city of Osimo.

The fortress contains a museum of ancient weapons through a partnership with the Academy of Oplology and Military History of Ancona and San Marino State Museums.

The museum complex allows visitors to explore secret passages, historical rooms, and access panoramic views from the keep's terrace throughout the year.

The castellan's residence on the third floor contains the fortress's single chimney, while access to the keep was positioned on the fourth floor for defensive purposes.
