Fortress of San Leo
The Fortress of San Leo is a hilltop castle on the border of the Romagna and Marche regions of Italy. Rebuilt in the mid-15th century under Federico da Montefeltro with plans by Francesco di Giorgio Martini, it served as a fortified palatial retreat and later as a prison; it now houses a museum and an arms gallery. The structure combines an older square-turreted keep with later round towers and a massive corbeled connecting wall around a central Place d'Armes.

As it stood in 1450
The shape it held in its prime.
Perched on a high smooth rocky crag, the fortress reads as a compact complex: an older square keep with small square turrets and a gothic arched entrance sits adjacent to later, thicker round artillery towers linked by a broad corbeled curtain wall. The keep, the two larger towers and the linking wall enclose a central Place d'Armes. A tall bell tower rises among a few clustered houses below; the whole massiveset atop steep jagged rock.
