Acquaviva Picena — Fortezza

Marche

Acquaviva Picena's fortress, rebuilt under the direction of a noted military architect in the 1400s, is unusual for its double ring of walls and moat, designed to withstand the artillery of its time. The tower gives an open view down to the Adriatic coast near San Benedetto del Tronto.
