    History

    The bulwark of the Mountain, with that of San Tommaso, was built in the early sixteenth century using the earth obtained after the excavation of the outer moat of the walls for the erection of the Montagnone area.

    The Montagnone, also called the Mountain of San Giorgio, in particular in the period of the duchy of Alfonso I d'Este was used as a military observation point and, mainly, as a privileged location for the powerful artillery of the Este seignory.

    The triangle of the bulwark, which once housed gardens, was abandoned in later times to decay and the uncontrolled growth of vegetation. Only in the course of the twentieth century did it proceed, in different periods, to its recovery and enhancement.
