Rocca Abbaziale, Medieval fortress in Subiaco, Italy.
The Rocca Abbaziale features defensive towers, robust walls, and strategic positioning on a hilltop overlooking the Aniene Valley.
Cardinal Rodrigo Borgia ordered extensive renovations of the fortress in 1476, strengthening its fortifications and preserving the original structure.
The fortress houses the MACS Museum, displaying historical printing equipment and commemorating the first movable type book printed in Italy.
The fortress opens daily from August 13 to September 1, except Mondays, allowing visitors to explore its medieval architecture and museum collections.
Cesare and Lucrezia Borgia were born within the walls of this fortress during the period when their father controlled the structure.
