Rocca Roveresca, Mondavio

The Rocca Roveresca or Rocca di Mondavio is a 15th-century castle in the town of Mondavio, in the region of Marche. It was commissioned by Giovanni della Rovere around 1492 from the architect Francesco di Giorgio Martini. The castle is in excellent state of conservation since it was never sieged or bombed.

The castle now houses a museum about personal and siege weapons, armor, uniforms, and battle strategies used in the age when such bulwarks were most useful.
