Rocca Ubaldinesca, Renaissance fortress in Sassocorvaro Auditore, Italy.
The brick fortress features a turtle-shaped structure with a central courtyard and stands prominently above the Foglia River valley.
Francesco di Giorgio Martini designed this defensive structure in 1475 for Ottaviano degli Ubaldini, advisor to Duke Federico da Montefeltro.
The fortress houses a pinacoteca containing paintings from the 14th to 18th centuries, including works by Evangelista di Piandimeleto.
Museum entry costs 5 euros for adults and 3 euros for reduced tickets, with guided tours included in the admission price.
During World War II, the fortress protected over 10,000 artworks from various Italian cities, earning its nickname 'Ark of Art'.
