Castel Sismondo also called Rocca Malatestiana, was located in an external position with respect to the historic center and underwent a long recovery activity in its external part, in the vicinity of what was its moat. Its current dimensions were desired by the city's greatest Renaissance lord, Sigismondo Pandolfo Malatesta, and work began in 1437 under the supervision of the most important military architect of the time: the Florentine Filippo Brunelleschi.

The structure fulfilled the task of both a noble residence and a military fortress and was created by incorporating some older buildings ...
...
Today's castle is a third of what it must have been in the past. Pope Urban VIII ordered the drastic lowering of its towers, other alterations were made in the eighteenth century and the filling of the moats took place in 1826. Until the 1960s it was the city's prison despite the municipality having already owned it since 1916. Venue for events and meetings cultural, was chosen as the seat of the Museum dedicated to Federico Fellini.
