Rocca Costanza, Military fortress in Pesaro, Italy.
The fortress features a quadrilateral structure with four cylindrical towers at each corner, connected by straight walls and internal spiral staircases.
Construction of the fortress took place between 1474 and 1483 under Costanzo Sforza, following initial designs by engineer Giorgio Marchesi da Settignano.
The fortress represents a significant example of Renaissance military architecture and stands as a testament to the defensive capabilities of 15th-century Italian cities.
Located in Piazzale Giacomo Matteotti, the fortress currently undergoes renovations to become the new home of the State Archive and Dario Fo Foundation Museum.
The fortress included a moat filled with Adriatic Sea water in 1500, during the occupation by Cesare Borgia, possibly following Leonardo da Vinci's advice.
