Torture Room

The Torture Room (or Prison) is the first room encountered upon entry into the Rocca. It is located at the base of the keep, and over time it has undergone significant structural changes, as is clearly visible by the lowering of over one metre of paving, restoration work that revealed the pre-Malatesti foundations.

In the south-east corner of the room is situated the water supply tank for the residential and defensive complex, useful for the support of the military during long sieges. This environment is the one that best preserves the memory of the original military structure, although inside, following the intervention of Zanvettori, it has been filled with objects and instruments of torture and of other kinds.
