Fontanellato — Rocca Sanvitale
Emilia-Romagna
Fontanellato's square castle sits ringed by a full water moat right in the centre of town, its Renaissance interior famous for an optical-illusion fresco by Parmigianino. The flat circuit around the moat is short, easy and gives constantly changing reflections of the castle walls in the water.
