Rocca di Monte Poggiolo, Medieval fortress in Castrocaro Terme e Terra del Sole, Italy
The fortress spans 146 meters in perimeter and features four circular towers, with the main tower reaching 18 meters in height.
The fortress received its current structure through a renovation project by Florentine architect Giuliano da Maiano in 1471.
The fortress contains military architectural elements including casemates, patrol corridors, and a commander residence that reflect 15th-century defense strategies.
Located 3 kilometers from Terra del Sole, the fortress currently allows external viewing only without interior access.
The structure includes an advanced medieval water system with two underground chambers for filtering and decanting rainwater.
