On the southwest side of the town rises the Rocca Borgesca, also called Rocca dei Borgia. Cesare Borgia had it built in 1503, to a design by Ludovico Clodio, to keep Camerino under control; its cylindrical towers and keep are an example of early Renaissance military architecture.

Also linked to the fortress is Porta Malatesta, built in the 1520s by Giovanni Maria da Varano when the walls were extended to the fortress. It was once called porta di San Giacomo; its current name, given at the end of the 19th century, recalls Giovanna Malatesta, wife of Giulio Cesare da Varano. It is built of brick, limestone and sandstone, with two rusticated half-columns.
