Rocca Manfrediana, Medieval fortress in Brisighella, Italy
The Rocca Manfrediana features two circular towers, a trapezoidal inner courtyard, and defensive walls positioned at strategic angles on the western side.
The fortress was built in 1310 by the Manfredi family, who controlled it until 1500 when Cesare Borgia took possession before Venice acquired it in 1503.
The southeastern tower contains an exhibition about the relationship between humans and the Chalk Vein, displaying artifacts from prehistoric and Roman periods.
Visitors can explore the fortress daily from April through October, with guided tours available in multiple languages upon advance reservation.
The castle stands on one of three chalk pinnacles that define Brisighella's skyline, alongside the Clock Tower and Monticino Sanctuary.
