Rocca Estense, Medieval fortress in Camporgiano, Italy
The Rocca Estense stands on a rocky elevation with trapezoidal walls and truncated-conical corner towers overlooking the main square of Camporgiano.
Built around 1500, the fortress served as a defensive structure for the Este family until the unification of Italy and sustained damage in a 1920 earthquake.
The fortress houses the Civita Raccolta di Ceramiche Rinascimentali, containing pottery collections from the early 15th through late 17th centuries.
Located at Via Alberto Bertolini 26 in Camporgiano, the fortress includes walkways along its walls and offers views of the Serchio valley.
At the summit of the fortress stands a hanging garden with conifers, while a stone fountain called pilon rests at its base.
