What to expect
Rocca Paolina is a fortress of the city. It was built between 1540 and 1543 at the behest of Pope Paul III and represented, until 1860, the symbol of papal power over the ancient city. The building, designed by Alessandro Tomassoni da Terni and Antonio da Sangallo the Younger, was built on what were the houses of the Baglioni, following their revolt against the pope, and occupied a large part of the southern slope of Perugia.
