    Castle of the Governor or Captain of the Square

    Seat of the customs officer after the disarmament of 1772, the Castle of the Governor or Captain of the Piazza is an integral part of the city-fortress of Terra del Sole and overlooks the Roman gate towards Forlì, one of the city entrances; it is characterized by an angled and stellar shape, like its "twin" that overlooks the other access door.

    It includes the Captain's Quarter, the passage tunnel, the "night" and "rest" Guard Corps, the saltpetre, cannonballs and trestle trestles warehouse.

    Publicly owned, it houses the Municipal Historical Archive in the mezzanine, which houses 1500 files including the acts of the court of first instance (which had its seat in the Palazzo Pretorio), the oldest document of which dates back to 1490. Here it is preserved almost for the entire criminal archive of the Tuscan Romagna Province, perhaps the most complete criminal archive in Italy. The "G. Rossini" Music School, the Choral Group, the Contrada di Borgo Romano and the Flag-wavers, Musicians and Men of Arms are located on the main floor.

      Historic building not open to visitors, the open garden at the back is very suggestive
