Medieval Fortress of Brisighella, Emilia Romagna -Italy
The Medieval town of Brisighella, which had maintained its original urban plan, is found at the feet of three characteristic chalk hills, upon which we find the following important monuments: the Manfrediana Fortress, a venetian example of excellent Medieval military art; the Clock Tower, the defence rampart built in 1290; the sanctuary of Monticino. In the palace of the ex-Magistrates we find the Giuseppe Ugonia Civic Musem, which holds the collection of operas of the famous lithographer and famous paintings coming from various churches across the territory.
