The Malatesta Fortress of Cesena is one of the most impressive in Emilia Romagna. It is located in the heart of the city on the top of Colle Garampo, surrounded by the Parco della Rimembranza.

...

The Fortress is characterized by its majestic size, by the panoramic terraces and by the suggestive walkways inside the curtains. The courtyard includes a fortified citadel which includes two imposing buildings, the Maestra Tower (Mastio or Maschio), inside which today some armor and saddles (original) are exhibited, which were used for the "Giostra d'incontro" and the Palatium (Female), where the

Agricultural History Museum.

The construction of the fort, which began in 1380 with Galeotto Malatesta, continued by the will of his successors Andrea and Malatesta Novello, was completely renovated and completed in 1477, during the papal dominion.

The Rocca is part of a larger system of fortifications surrounding the city, a system that also fascinated Leonardo da Vinci when he stayed in Cesena in the summer of 1502, commissioned by Cesare Borgia to inspect and overhaul the fortifications of the conquered jurisdictions and improve the defenses.
