Rocca Possente

Built in around the year 1000, it was extended and reinforced by the Este family in 1362.
Rocca Possente

Its strategic position on the Po together with that of the Rocca di Ficarolo on the opposite bank to which it was connected by a chain, meant control over navigation. It was destroyed in 1521 but quickly rebuilt. Its peculiar walls at a slant gave better protection against enemy artillery. The star-shaped layout probably dates back to 1570 and it is this characteristic form that gave the name to the village of Stellata.
