Rocca di Albornoz

The Rocca di Albornoz sits at 332 meters elevation, featuring four corner towers and a taller square tower overlooking the Nera Valley.

Cardinal Egidio Albornoz commissioned the construction of this fortress in 1367 on the remains of an earlier military settlement by Frederick Barbarossa.

The fortress contains a medieval garden divided into two sections: an orchard with food plants and a medicinal garden corresponding to zodiac signs.

The first floor of the fortress houses the Street Art Museum, displaying materials from international artists like Keith Haring and Banksy.

The fortress includes a travertine water cistern that opens directly into the courtyard, demonstrating advanced medieval engineering techniques.
