History and culture between villages and hills

In addition to its summer face and purely seaside, Romagna can offer much more: medieval villages and fortresses, villages nestled among the green hills, castles belonging to noble families now disappeared.
Santarcangelo of Romagna
Marecchia Valley
Santarcangelo is a ancient medieval village which is worth a visit. It is located about 20 minutes by car from Rimini and offers a pleasant walk to its visitors. The streets of the center are full of small stores, taverns and restaurants where you can taste the typical products of romagna. The climb to the highest point of the village, leads to the Campanone which dominates the entire city.
Republic of San Marino
The fascinating Mount Titan
Not far from Rimini is the Republic of San Marino, an independent state that will give you a pleasant walk along the ancient walls. San Marino rises on Mount Titano and from the Piazza della Libertà you can be fascinated by a marvelous panorama overlooking Romagna.
Gradara
Village of Marche
Outside the borders of Emilia Romagna and already in the territory of Marche, there is Gradara; a beautiful village just over 27 kilometers from Rimini.
The castle, the walls and the stone streets make this place one of the most suggestive to visit and one of the most fascinating, after all it is precisely these stones that still today guard the secrets of the tormented love between Paolo and Francesca.
Saint Leo
The castle of Cagliostro
To reach the fort of San Leo it takes about 40 minutes by car and once you get there you can breathe the atmosphere of a time gone by.
The rocky outcrop on which the fortress stands is proud and majestic and still hides the mysterious events of the Italian alchemist Cagliostro who was taken prisoner here.
