Rocca Brivio, Baroque building in San Giuliano Milanese, Italy
The stone structure features towers and bastions positioned strategically along two waterways, the Lambro and Cavo Vettabia, near Via Emilia.
Built in the early 1200s as a military tower during conflicts between northern Italian municipalities and Emperor Frederick I Barbarossa.
The chapel within the complex, dedicated to the Nativity of the Virgin Mary, stands on the foundations of an ancient watchtower.
The building maintains its original baroque architecture with noble halls containing wooden ceilings and monumental fireplaces from the 17th century.
The site witnessed the Battle of Marignano, leading to Leonardo da Vinci's decision to relocate to France following the conflict's outcome.
