Rocca Possente: torre difensiva posta sulla riva del Po edificata attorno all'XI secolo e successivamente ampliata nel 1362 per volontà di Niccolò II d'Este. All'epoca posizionata nelle vicinanze del delta del Po, assieme alla rocca di Ficarolo aveva lo scopo di controllare il traffico navale e mercantile mediante l'utilizzo di una catena tra le due sponde del fiume. Ricostruita nuovamente dopo il 1521, assume la forma con bastioni obliqui "a stella" adatti a resistere ai colpi di artiglieria. La conformazione a stella dell'edificio ha dato il nome a Stellata. La struttura a stella è ciò che rimane della struttura difensiva di Stellata durante il periodo estense (Wikipedia). Molto interessante da visitare nel paese di Stellata il museo archeologico,
