Rocca dei Borgia

The Fortress of the Borgia was built in the fifteenth century at the behest of Pope Sixtus IV and authorized in 1483 by Cardinal Rodrigo Borgia. Below the fortress was donated by the Cardinal to his daughter Lucrezia, then passing under the management of the Farnese who expanded its walls on a project by Antonio Sangallo the Younger. The property has a wonderful Renaissance style noble hall and the remains of two palaces and four bulwarks have also come to us.
