Abstract:: Perched on a rocky spur overlooking the little hamlet of Sant’Agata Feltria, the Rocca is featured on a tourist itinerary that links it with the other rocky fortifications within the area ‘Alta Val Marecchia’, which includes San Leo, Pennabilli, Maiolo and Verucchio. Having wrested it from the Malatesta family in 1462, Federico da Montefeltro extended and reorganised the pre-existent structures and, with the addition of the carinated towers, the fortress took on the look it has retained to this day.
