Fortezza da Basso

Designed by Antonio da Sangallo the Younger (1533-35), the Fortezza has been completely remodeled and is now an exhibition and conference center. This complex and prestigious environment combines charming and perfectly restored historic places (such as the Quartieri Monumentali - the Monumental Area - or the Polveriera) with modern pavilions, specifically built to increase the space availability, such as the Spadolini Pavilion and the more recently built Cavaniglia Pavilion.
