10/11/2025: Ravenna's Rocca Brancaleone is one of those places that makes you feel like you're inside a piece of history, even if you're not a fan of castles or the Middle Ages. Built in the 15th century by the Venetians, it's an imposing yet welcoming fortress, surrounded by a large green park where you can feel a tranquil, timeless atmosphere.
As soon as you enter, you're struck by the contrast between the ancient brick walls and the modern life that flows within: children playing, families strolling, young people listening to music. In the summer, with concerts, open-air cinema, and cultural events, the Rocca transforms into a lively and evocative gathering place.
Historically, it's well-preserved, although some areas could use some further restoration—but that's part of its charm: those slightly ruined walls tell centuries of history better than any explanatory plaque.
In summary:
Atmosphere: historic, relaxed, and charming.
Ideal for: strolls, summer evenings, photography, and moments of tranquility.
Personal note: It's one of those places where you can feel far from the chaos while still being in the city.
⭐ Overall rating: 9/10 — a little gem of Ravenna, worth a visit both day and night.
