The surroundings of Rimini and the secrets of an area waiting to be discovered

The thrill of a trip to the Romagna hinterland

Sometimes it takes very little to spend an original day immersed in history and culture. Here you will find a few samples of places to visit in Rimini and the Romagna hinterland, including medieval villages, mysterious castles, and ancient legends. These places are very easy to reach from Bellaria. Which one intrigues you the most?

Santarcangelo di Romagna

Santarcangelo, just 15 minutes from Bellaria Igea Marina, is a small town in the province of Rimini, of Roman origin and located on the Via Emilia. Piazza Ganganelli, home to the town hall, is the main meeting place in the town and is distinguished by its famous arch dedicated to Pope Clement XIV. The old part of Santarcangelo is located on Colle Giove, which dominates the town.

San Leo

If you are looking for a panoramic view of the Valmarecchia, the Fortress of San Leo is definitely one of the most evocative. Located on an inaccessible rocky spur, it towers majestically over the valley and bears witness to the passage of numerous historical figures such as St. Francis, Dante, and the Count of Cagliostro. The latter, a famous alchemist and esotericist, was imprisoned in San Leo in 1791 and remained there until his death.

San Marino

The Republic of San Marino, the third smallest state in Europe, lies southwest of Rimini at the foot of Mount Titano. Of fundamental tourist interest are the three towers that symbolize the Republic (the Rocca Guaita, the Rocca Cesca, and the Montale), which outline the profile of the city-state on the horizon.

Verucchio

Verucchio has ancient origins dating back to before the 10th century BC. Archaeological excavations have revealed evidence of the Villanovan civilization. The town's Archaeological Museum is a must-see, boasting an exhibition of funerary objects found in the necropolises of Verucchio.

Gradara

The castle of Gradara, of medieval origin and belonging to the Malatesta family, is famous for being mentioned by Dante in Canto V of Inferno. The fortress was the scene of the love affair between Paolo and Francesca. The two lovers were caught in the act by Gianciotto Malatesta, who tragically killed them both.

Montebello

A solitary castle, dating back to pre-Roman times, which holds a mysterious legend. It is said that the ghost of Azzurrina, a little girl who died prematurely during the summer solstice of 1375, lives here. Some say that the girl's voice can still be heard from the dungeons... Head to Montebello and listen for yourself.
