Description

The Rocca di Ravaldino is a fortified citadel that stands in the city of Forlì. Of medieval origin, it was rebuilt and strengthened in the 14th century both by the Ordelaffi and by Egidio Albornoz and enlarged during the 15th century; today it is partly used as an exhibition venue, while a large area houses the city's prison.
