Rocca d'Anfo is a historic military fortification in Anfo (Brescia), sited on the eastern slope of Mount Censo adjacent to Lake Idro. It was first built by the Venetian Republic in the 15th century and substantially expanded under Napoleonic direction in the early 1800s. The complex is a multi-tiered system of masonry defenses climbing the mountainside and controlling the lakeside approaches.

As it stood in 1810
What Rocca d'Anfo looked like in its prime.
Rocca d'Anfo is a multi-tiered military fortress perched on the eastern slope of Mount Censo above Lake Idro. At its prime in the early 1800s long masonry curtain walls and stepped terraces climb the rocky slope, linking a compact cluster of defensive buildings and artillery platforms added during the Napoleonic expansion. Surfaces are rough stone and mortar; rooflines are low and utilitarian. The fort's silhouette follows the mountain contour and dominates the lakeside panorama.
Its story
The story of Rocca d'Anfo.
Rocca d'Anfo — the Rock of Anfo — was first built by the Venetian Republic in the 15th century on the eastern slope of Mount Censo in the Brescia and Garda Prealps, beside Lake Idro, where it controlled the lakeside approaches.
The stronghold was greatly expanded under Napoleonic direction in the early 1800s, growing into a multi-tiered system of masonry defences climbing the mountainside. The complex survives intact at Anfo, in the province of Brescia in northern Italy.
