Rocca di Ravaldino, Medieval fortress in Forlì, Italy
The Rocca di Ravaldino features a square layout with circular towers at each corner and a central keep rising fifteen meters high.
The fortress underwent reconstruction in the 1300s by the Ordelaffi and Albornoz families, followed by significant expansions during the 1400s under various rulers.
The fortress served as the residence of Caterina Sforza, who maintained her private apartments in a structure called Paradiso within the complex.
Visitors can explore the external gardens and observe the remaining structures of the 14th-century fortress and 15th-century walls.
The central keep contains a spiral staircase made of stone without a central pivot, consisting of 67 steps supported through overlapping construction.
