Rocca di Borgia, Renaissance fortress in Camerino, Italy
The Rocca di Borgia features cylindrical towers and a quadrangular keep positioned on a platform near a cliff edge in Camerino.
Construction of the fortress began in 1503 under Cesare Borgia, with architect Ludovico Clodio designing it to maintain control over the city.
The fortress incorporated the former Franciscan monastery of San Pietro in Muralto, with its Renaissance halls and vaulted rooms still visible today.
The surrounding gardens, created in 1924, contain trees from the 1800s and accommodate busts of composer Filippo Marchetti and playwright Ugo Betti.
Under Pope Clement VII, the fortress served as a secure storage location for treasures from the shrine of Loreto during times of threat.
