Rocca di Monselice

The Rocca di Monselice rises 150 meters above sea level with a diameter of 500 meters at its base and 80 meters at the summit.

Frederick II of Swabia ordered the construction of the fortress over the remains of the ancient Pieve di Santa Giustina during the mid-13th century.

The archaeological museum within the Rocca displays regional artifacts, weapons, and burial goods that demonstrate the evolution of local societies through centuries.

The castle opens from February to December with guided tours at specific times, while January visits require advance group reservations.

The natural path of Colle della Rocca features over 300 plant species and preserves volcanic trachyte rock formations used throughout history.
