La Rocca Martinengo, sul'isola lacustre di Monte Isola nel Lago d'Iseo in frazione Menzino. Inizialmente Castello Oldofredi, venne fatta costruire dai feudatari bresciani per controllare la sponda occidentale del lago, quella orientale era sotto la loro giurisdizione. Il castello si erge sopra il golfo di Sensole, tra Peschiera e Menzino ed è rivolto verso Tavernola Bergamasca. Non ci sono atti ufficiali riguardanti il passaggio di proprietà del castello dagli Oldofredi ai Martinengo, ma probabilmente fu Antonio Prevosto ad acquistare la rocca attorno alla metà del XV secolo. Con la conquista, nel 1427, da parte della Serenissima del bergamasco, la funzione difensiva dell'edificio venne meno e la rocca venne convertita in palazzo. Oggi la rocca è privata e raramente visitabile. Benché nulla sia stato verificato, una leggenda popolare vuole che la Rocca Martinengo sia collegata con un tunnel sotto il lago con l'Isola di San Paolo.
