It stands on one of the three chalky pinnacles that dominate the village. Built in 1310 by the Manfredi, lords of Faenza, it remained in this family until 1500, when it passed to Cesare Borgia for only three years.
From 1503 to 1509 it belonged to the Venetians who built the grandiose keep and two sides of the walls, then it was part of the Papal State. At the end of 1500 the two towers were covered with a roof.
The fortress still retains the characteristics of medieval fortresses: the holes for the chains of the drawbridges above the entrance door, the corbels and machicolations, the walkways on the surrounding walls, the loopholes.

Today restored to new splendor through continuous and qualified restorations, it is a valuable example of the military art of the Middle Ages.

The fortress is also known as Rocca Manfrediana

A very attractive castle overlooking Brisighella. Its watch tower which stands apart on another pinnacle can also be visited.
