Walls and Bastion of San Martino
The bastion of San Martino was founded in the sixteenth century, during the construction of the fortification conceived by Duke Francesco Maria I Della Rovere. The bastion is the most innovative element of the fortifications built in the first half of the sixteenth century: placed at the head of one of the vertices of the pentagonal wall, it was conceived as a defensive system “in the modern style”, with right angles at the junction of the curtain walls and acute angles towards the outside.
In ancient times, a moat ran along the walls, which dried up when the defensive reasons that had determined its creation disappeared. During the 19th century, it became clear that the garden land thus created, more than three meters lower than the ground level, did not allow water to flow, creating unhealthy stagnation right next to the town, which would lead to its filling in in 1885. For the same reasons, in 1920 he began burying Penna and creating it on his bed on Viale IV Novembre.
