Corso Guercino leads south into a large square dominated by the solitary bulk of the Rocca, the imposing fortress overlooking Cento with the massive geometry of its corner towers, the strength and power of the entrance tower, and the central keep.
The crenellated crowns, corbels, arrow slits, and gun ports confirm the military nature of the building, erected in 1378 and rebuilt during the 15th century. The interior features spaces of artistic or historical interest, such as the fireplace room, the chapel, the triple-lancet window room, the gun ports, the prisons, and the cellars.
